Butterfly

I bought a macro lens and started carrying a second body when I'm out

scouting for birds so I could being to get into insect shots. Ironically, I took this

one, fairly high on a bush, with the long lens I usually use for birds. I don't

think I could have got close enough for the macro lens to be effective, but I'm

very new to macro shooting and eager for advice.

Quite good for a telephoto shot.  You could probably have gotten the hairs sharper with the macro, but could have made it fly and lost the shot.

Very nice macro work.  Light color environment makes the butterfly more outstanding.  Best Regards,
