Thanks for looking...

Great picture of the two butterflys sitting next to each other and the colors in the last picture are just great. I'm guessing focusing on the two butterflys was tricky to get both looking good, but i think you did a great job.

Thanks, glu. Yeah, it was tricky trying to keep the DOF and the two subjects in focus...so I decided to keep the one in the back out of focus..just for a little twist.

'nut, some very nice shots you've got there!

I especially like the last one.

Thanks E&S, thanks Ian.. It was a target-rich environment. You can't go wrong in a place like Costa Rica...unless you leave the lens cap on.

Hey - nice stuff. I like the snake. That dual-butterfly shot was probably an exercise in frustration but I think it paid off.
