Doug, I know how hard it is to get a shot of them when their flitting about. I took some today but man were they active. Of course my images are of them being kind of still or busy as you might say on a flower. This is outstanding in my book and because of the unique capture, I'm faving it. Love the colors of him/her too. Way to go and give yourself a pat on the back, If you don't I will! :)

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life, and my love for music and photography.

Sorry, but I'm gonna half to go 'no' on this one mate. The comp 'n' clarity just ain't rockin' me one this one. My view comes up kind of a lack of detail and overall arrangement...again, sorry.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??

A beautiful capture Doug, but it just is alittle dark for me. Excellent anyway though!

Not offended by anyone's view or opinion of this shot.
Remember,this is a shot done in a split second not being able to worry about composition or focus detail.To just stop one in flight is a victory for me.
So don't be sorry or afraid to say you don't care for it,it's O.K

Great shot! What settings did you use to capture the flight? As someone who has hoped to be able to do that, I really admire it!

Nice job catching this butterfly in flight ... I know how difficult that is. A little motion blur, but the colors are great. Personally I would like to see a closer crop. The main thing is you succeeded in getting this shot. I can be out chasing butterflies in motion all day & not touch the shutter button once. Very well done Doug.

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas

Very cool! Not all of them have the red and blue. Everything came together for these shots.

I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet... so I says to him, "Hey brother, ya wanna sell those shoes?"
