These are wonderful, just where is your backyard? Can you post a picture of your garden/flower setup? We just dug up our whole yard and will be landscaping in the spring. I hope to add a lot of flowers that attract butterflies.

Plant Butterfly bushes, grow fast and bloom all year.
OH and BTW, one of the best Butterfly series........>
I was with a friends at a butterfly bush, I call it Butterfly paparazzi, sounds of 3 or 4 people snaping away... Very cool.
The area outside of the DOF ont he flower in shot one needs to be cropped. My eyes don't see a butterfly, they see that big out of focus blob.
Nice focus on the butterfly though.
The second one has a similar issue, right side has an out of focus distraction.
Good lighting. I like six the best, nice clean background.

These are absolutely beautiful shots. All framers in my eyes. The colors are vibrant without being oversaturated, the backgrounds really make the subjects standout, composition is spot on and the detail brings them to life. Great work!

Thank you, Brian. Glad you like them. Butterflies seem to be the only wildlife left in my backyard.

Thanks Redtail. I appreciate your kind words. I sent you a PM with more specific explanations. I hope you will enjoy batterflies as much as I do. Be gentle with them and they will pay you back by eating directly from your hand.

beautiful control of DOF, as usual, Socrate... the BG's look out of this world, and the subjects are crisp, perfectly saturated, and gorgeous.
Hi, Steve. Nice to hear from you. Thank you for your words.
