Been chasing these all over my place to get a decent shot!
Not easy to get a nice sharp shot before they move but this is my best so far!
Out of about 6 shots......still not up to my standards but I'll keep a look out for some more opportunities.

    I see they are hang'in around so maybe next few days I'll get a sharper shot?

    Very nice.thumb.gif Hard to get the wings fully open like that.

    Have you ever tried doing a color mask of just the black and dark gray and then just sharpen them? Sometimes this works without making the other colors too sharp.
