Love the colour palette Matt - makes me think of summer :)

The thing that bugs me is the DoF being very shallow and only really getting the head/body totally sharp... the ends of the wings are soft due to being out of the DoF and it just jars a little IMO. I know working at these distances with such small subjects creates this issue of narrow DoF, but that's my observation :)

I know what you mean Pat, the DoF really isn't helped that I was shooting with my macro lens, should have took the 24-70 :LOL: glad you like the colours etc (y) the butterfly farms a great place as its good even in the worst weather :D
 
Yep, I like the one at Stratford, although in the middle of summer it's like the centre of the sun!!!! Never been anywhere so hot :LOL:
