Yes, I like her too :-) Butterflies are hard to capture and annoing :-) But yours is very good photographed. I like details on eye and antenae. Good work!

Ek dog selfs skoenlappers eet vleis in die Vrystaat! The image is very sharp, you and those rings are a great team. Very nice low angle (whish I could see your technique)

Congratulations on your 1st butterfly

Well I wouldn't believe it's a first, it's very good. I didn't know that pollen caused diarrhoea! :-0

Very nice work Gerhard, can't wait to see your next attempts.

Hi Gerhard
Congrats on your 1st b'fly. Also a ground hugging species, which makes life even more difficult for us to nail them. Very nice, now, where is the one on the wing?

I still can't believe the patience you have, but I see it come with great shots! Very well done, must have been hard finding one of those in the Freestate ;-)

Another excellent macro, Gerhard. Colour and sharpness perfect. Mooi werk!

Gerhard, Very good "back door" :-0 strategy on this - what your photo may lack in sharpness, it makes up in "Poop" appeal! ;-). Great title and good details with just the wings falling out of your DOF a bit. Isn't chasing these things around fun! It's a great post! Thanx!!

I thought they only drank nectre?
well for a 1st this is brilliant considering how much extension tubes shorten the DOF this one is pretty sharpe. Best shot in the cool of the morning before they get warmed up.Keep them coming.

Very nice Topaz Blue Butterfly Gerhard. I like the POV. Maybe you used some Hi-Teck tenhnics and atlethic postures to take this shot :). TFS.
