We visited the Grand Cayman Butterfly Farm last week and had some opportunities for macro shots. This is one of my favorites. It was taken with my 18 -55 kit lens which I think did pretty well since it is not a dedicated macro.

    Nice. I like the intersecting diagonals of the bars along the wings and the veins in the leaf. I think what I would have done differently is to shift the view down just a bit, which would bring that last bit of butterfly back in frame along the bottom, and it would lose the black bit in the top left corner.

    I don't generally like my 18-55 kit lens but on occassion it can be really surprising. I came home one day with some great ladybug shots from it that I never even expected to be keepers..
