Mike,

Yesterday, this butterfly was too far to get any good close shots. Today, it was bumping me on the head. I had to back up to get in focus with standard macro. I installed the conversion lense for this shot. I saw the yellow dragonfly passing by many times, never stopping. At times I can get close, and other times they are gone before my camera is enabled. I just keep trying. When it happens, I take lots of shots. When it doesen't, I practice on bees.

Rich,

Have you thought of creating a brush with about 5 or 6 of your wonderful butterfly extractions (resized so they are all about the same size) and creating a brush with them??

I think many would really love that, I know I would!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

Thanks again for sharing these fantastic photos with us!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
