    Very beautiful work. Especially the butterflies. I've been fascinated by butterflies since I was a kid. Did you use a macro lens?

    Many thanks. I use both tele and macro. With my 100-400 mm I can keep a cautious distance to insects - especially butterflies, dragonflies and damselflies are shy. When the first shots are secured I change to my 150 mm macro and try to get shots on a distance under 50 mm. The macro lens was used on no. 1, 9, 15 and 16.

    5, #6, #8, and #9 feel like have the right combination of light and background in my view. Overall sweet set! Cheers Jorgen!
