Flutterbies...

That's what I used to call them as a kid.

Anyway, here are some shots from the local butterfly conservatory (link (http://www.wingsofparadise.com/)) -- some good ones maybe, but I'll let you judge.

Please be honest -- it's the only way I'll learn.

Thanks in advance for looking.

Love the second one, I think the purists here would say "watch your wing clipping " :) Good job

Yeah, I was annoyed by the clipped wing myself, but of the three shots I took of this little guy this one was the only one that was in focus for the head! :rolleyes

Thanks for looking.

I like them all. I would like to see more light on the butterflies though, to really bring out the delicacy of their wings and the colors. These are still better than any I could do :D Thanks for sharing them.

You got some good ones especially #4. Butterflies are very tough to shoot.

Nothing wrong that a little practice can't cure; a little more room with help. Good shooting. :clap :clap
