Walt, As Dan said it. I liked both butterflies, - enjoyed them (and envied ;))
And I don't mind that What did you do to enhance the colors? Is that just saturation or something else? If you are considering a fast prime and a macro, - look at 100/2.8 macro - most versions of this lens are good for both. I have the D-FA version (not WR) - as it is lighter than F/FA. I also used it in combination with the F 1.7X AF and A 1.4X-S Pentax converters for macro purposes (when I needed "extra" macro), - but it's sufficient without it for most macro-purposes.
