The canon 70-200mm f/4L lens and the 21mm macro extension tube captured this swallowtail at the calendar gardens yesterday, hand held.

I have been thinking of our dear and talented fractal artist jswgpb and my thoughts are with you John, I just want to make another dedication to a sweet and fun member of Caedes.♥♥ ♥♥

Thank you for commenting, and I did try to make this one larger for the desktop.I always appreciate the constructive advice.

Tigs♥ =^..^=

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

You make constructive advice a little difficult on your postings, Sandi. I might as well be telling Leonardo da Vinci to tell Mona Lisa to chew some bubble gum and show more of a toothy grin.

The shot itself has no technical flaws that I can see. I'm still wondering what it is that you're doing to the image in the upload to keep it so small. Personally I'm convinced that you want them to be a substandard size because the shots suck at full size.

Very well done Sandi, don't you love it when they land on the milkweed to feed, they stay long enough for a photo.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Beautifully done. I really can't think of anything that would improve this. So I'll just sit here jealously wishing I had a macro ring for my camera.
