Incredible macro with sharp details and great full frame design, Ronald!! I am just wondering...how did you get so close? #4357868

Ronald F. Fischer June 02, 2007

Thank you very much everyone! Melissa - the image you see is almost a 100% crop from the original image. The butterfly was pretty engrossed in sipping nectar from the flowers on a lilac bush when I took this picture. With a lot of patience and slow movement I was able to get about 8 inches away when I took this picture! #4357901
