These are really outstanding. Not sure I can pick a favorite. I have been unsuccessful getting such a sharp, well-lighted and well-posed butterfly. Way to go on those. Enjoyed the hummers, cardinal and chickadee too!!
Thanks for your kind comments, Cris. For my butterfly shots I use a couple of pots with some pentas and move them around in my backyard to suit the best light and bg for my shots.

These are all beautiful Socrate... Thanks for the info on, and demonstration with the 40D. Your work is always a joy to see..... Take care
Hi, Alex. Thanks for the comments. It is not a 1 series but seems to do a fine job.

wow, such a great series, all the hummers look great and #5 of the butterfly is exceptional in regards to composition, exposure and color.
I'm hoping to upgrade in the near future, I use a Rebel XT and though it was a good starting camera I find the focusing rather slow especially for birds. The 40D sounds like a great choice for me, but I'll have to keep saving
Finally some pics that would make me buy this camera, good Job Socrate . I new it was just a matter of time before someone I knew and trusted posted some pics out of that camera that I feel are a true test of what it can do. Thanks
Congrats on the 40D Socrate! You are really making it sing. The hummers in flight are great. I like them with the wings in motion like that. I captures the bird better. Love the rest as well - very sharp, great colors and bgs.
It is amazing with a bird this fast how well your 40D has captured focus. When you go back & compare your 30D at same range & lens, is there a significant difference? I imagine you are using AI-Servo?
