Thank you, Jack and Rick.
I really like that lens, even though it is an older one. It captures
things that I could never get with one of my shorter macro lenses.

You're certainly putting that 100mm
2.8 macro to good use.
Especially nice, Dan!

Thanks, P.J.
I see what you're getting at there. I guess it's just me, but I find
the dusty coating on the rocks grating -- almost as unattractive as the
mud itself in this context. I probably wouldn't mind it as much if it
were a toad or snake. But, for some reason, when I look at the

You didn't really have to do a partial desaturated, the rocks were
pretty monochrome to begin with. I think it would have benefited from a
bit of lightning in the wings to try to bring out some detail, and a
slightly different crop.

Again, thanks for the kind words, Frank.
And, yes ... partial desaturation is a kind of gimmicky thing. But,
just for the sake of comparison, here's a link to the shot before the
desaturation. It was overall a pretty homely background, not befitting
of the poor butterfly who happened to la

Thanks, Dave!
I'm slowly getting the hang of the editing thing. On this one, I
learned to be a little more discriminating in my desaturation --
selecting specific areas within the image, rather than trying to edit
colors throughout the entire image. It's amazing what one can
accomplish us
Thanks, Toine!
On at least some of the butterflies, there are a few small, dark red
spots on the topside of the wings, but they're hard to see even under
good lighting. This one was just a more intense shade of black than the
pictures I've seen on the web -- and those pictures were very har
Great job, love it.

I don't spot any red or purple. Since google is my friend I learned
it's on the bottom. What an amazing butterfly. And a great capture!

Hi all,
OK ... my last PESO for the weekend. This one is a shot from the day
after I bought my K-x, taken on a trek to a nearby wildlife preserve.
This butterfly followed me around all day -- I guess it was attracted to
the color of my shirt, or my shampoo, or my sense of humor -- Idunno.
