now that's dedication. I like your use of 'white space' in this. makes me feel like it's going to take off at any second.

Very nice capture, well worth the wait!

Excellent shot, Phil. The background really isolates the butterfly nicely. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of lighting did you use?

So you were shooting off a tripod, with a large aperture setting?

Bill

P.S., what was your shutter speed?

GOLDENORFE

An absolutely beautiful shot. the question is: what did you do to get the butterfly to show such patience?
