Butterfly
I fail miserably at getting close to these little boogers - so this is the best I've managed so far. I'm really pleased with it

That is very good, any closer and you would need a bigger piece of paper 
Nice and sharp and a very good composition think, given a choice, I would like the background a bit softer in colour.

Thanks all - yes the background was very bright - it was a very bright day with very harsh light - so I was happy to get a photo at all really

Really good, excellent sharpness and colour. Just loses that DoF on the bottom edge of the wings where it goes OoF again but i didn't notice this until the second look.

Thanks all - BC - I'm not sure if it loses DoF or if that's the result of my very poor editing in PS 
there was a bit of plant there that I was trying to get rid of, think I may have blurred the wings too :rolleyes:

Yep, that explains it. I was wondering how other stuff that appeared to be in the same plane looked about right.
