I like #3 - very delicate poise. Nice composition. I wish I had the patience to do these.

Really nice series. I am so jealous of photographers who have the ability to capture butterfly images. The butterflies I encounter are always on the move even in strong winds. Rarely, do I come across a butterfly that stays put longer than a second or two. :cry

very nice, maybe a little tight in frame. more space might look better

Thanks for the nice comments.
FYI I did battle wind, making focus difficult; AND a Landscaper on a mower buzzing around the flower bed while I was in it!

I know they are super close, my main goal was to try my Kenko tubes on my 150mm Macro, it did make it hard to get a whole butterfly in frame but was fun.
