Critique A few recent shot's of butterflies

are you using a Sigma 150 500mm for those shots Nigel

most seem to be at the full stretch of 500mm - they lack a little sharpness - maybe you could try at 400mm

also are they and held

but DOF is always difficult

The first one is a brimstone - the orange spots on the wings and the wing shape with the little sticky out bits are a giveaway. Get one on an ivy leaf and it looks more like a leaf than the real thing. To get the best out of a butterfly you need to get up close.
