I believe it was Walter Brennen on an old TV western that said, It 
ain't brag if you've done it.  Well girl, you've don't it and it's 
beautiful.

Annsan,

To make a living, you have to shoot pictures that are in demand.
They are not always fun to do.  There are sure-fire formulas to
make a living in photography.  I could list some but I'm sure
that you already know them and you probably would not enjoy
doing them.  Most are too cliché, and far from fine art
photography.  You have a very good eye for  art.  An article I
read last year in a photography magazine explained it another
way.  It was written by an editor.  He differentiated pictures
into two categories.  Those that were shot for people,  and
those that were shot for photographers.  He said that the ones
that sold magazines were shot for people.  You can see that
photographers really appreciate your work.

I think I shall always be an amateur in all my endevours
because
the business side of any of these things is so tiresome and
time consuming.
I'm actually in a stock agency, but have given them so
little lately that
I'm not even listed on their web site.  I've had shows, but
never made a profit
because it cost so much to put it together. And then there
was the book, but
that of course, showed no profit for me. 

I'm awfully pleased to be appreciated by those on the list. 
But I have to
say I'm feeling the pressure, too :)  What can I put up for
March? ???

I got so flustered by all the attention I didn't even notice
you
moved my butterfly to another venue :)  

Of course you guys in Texas think 100 miles is practically
next door, right?

 Beautiful photo. And it certainly meets the depth of field assignment.
 The lack of depth of field here creates a much happier photograph in
 this instance than would a small stop and a lot of depth. I think your
 guess of a 5.6 stop is very close, considering the focal length. The
 butterfly's color is gorgeous. The angle is perfect, and every detail is
 crisp. I like it a lot.

I absolutely concur. From Carp Carp Carp through the western 
landscapes to this shot, I'm seeing a distinctive annsan look
that transcends subject matter. The fact that I can't define it 
more precisely doesn't change the fact that I see it and like it.

Nice job!
