Wow. These are all great, but the two-butterflies-in-flight shot is just spectacular! Well done.


Thank you !. My 300mm is in the shop for repairs, would have loved to have it when the pair showed up chasing each other.

Wow those first two are really incredible, really unusual and cool captures (and TRICKY!!!!), the first almost looks like it's just floating in zero G heh.

I remember when you first made a few hesitant, tentative posts to the site the first two times and then.... You'd be a great pool shark .


I remember the first posts . You all have helped me so much !

Beautiful! I especially love the first, with the orange repeated in the flower--and in the out-of-focus flowers. And your ability to capture such clear images of butterflies in flight is amazing.

Nancy



Nancy, greatly appreciate it, thank you.

The double takes are pretty amazing and the others are beauties.
Chris



Thanks so much Chris. I just happened to walk out in the garden and saw all this flittering around. First time, I have even seen 2 of them together.

I always enjoy your butterfly images, Birdie, and this fine set is no exception. The poem is the perfect accompaniment to these beautiful captures.

My favorite is the last one, but I enjoyed each one. Pleasing colors, nice BG's, and well captured subjects.

Thanks also for sharing some of your PP steps. I use some of the Topaz plug-ins as well, but will have to check out PE8 too.

Great work!

Jim


Thanks so much Jim, I do appreciate it.

Bokeh is magnificient "birdie"!!!!! Images are fantastic!!!!
I use Nik Dfine 2.0 for noise. It really allows you complete control over any and all parts of the images. Use a control point or a brush to select minute portions that show noise but interfere with the other non-noisy parts of the image.
Fine compositions!
