That you are nailing eye focus of an IF butterfly at almost wide open f/stop is amazing buddy! #5 is sweet
I like the first image, might like it better without the in focus flowers or maybe if they weren't centered?
You are having fun with that lens I think it is a winner and a great value

Thanks Karl, I'd rank butterfly's up there with sparrows, maybe harder because they are so small and erratic in their flight path, they turn on a dime.
Also thanks for the comment on the greenery, yeah, it was a small patch, if I moved much more off center, I'd have lost the light and the other types of plants would invade the shot, and if I zoomed in to crop more, the tips would be out the top and the flower on the floor, etc, so I was kinda locked into the comp and moved the in-focus flower as much to the left of center as I could even though the OOF flower is still kinda centered. I guess some people still see that as centered, but to me it's not, oh well, heh.
