This might be the strangest picture I have ever taken. I went to the Butterfly House today, and a lady was sitting on a bench right next to this tree with the butterfly hanging there, so I included her in the shot. I thought it turned out pretty cool. I kinda like the big earring dangling there.

Great DOF, super clarity and a pretty neat capture! Just a tad lower crop from the top would have made it look like she was wearing a brown hat with large dark spots! Glad you left her. She seems rather pretty. Dare to be different, Jimbob!

Unusual for you, Jim, but wonderful. The butterfly is gorgeous. I am not sure about the lady, she is a bit blurry. LOL

This is a great shot Jimbob. The butterfly in sharp focus and the woman blurred but still clear enough to see her features.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
