Beautiful shots Janice.

These are all excellent, wish I could catch (in the photo sense) some of these in my garden, love the detail in their wing patterns and the sharp flowers - really works well with the OoF backdrop

 

[kamion]

Nice!

 

[CT]

DOF in that first shot is superb!

 

[Janice]

Thanks guys. I didnt use a macro lens....just a normal Tamron 28-75, handheld, no flash.

 

[MattEg]

Very nice Janice.

I'm suprised that we haven't had more of these with the weather we're having.

TFS

Wow! Janice,

Although I agree with CT on the first shot, I feel drawn to the second & think its because I havent seen one of those ... but theyre all lovely!

 

[minimeeze]

Great shots...but Ewww

 

[Marcel]

First and last for me Janice, great captures

 

[P-E]

Wonderful shots

 

[sypix]

Superb shots Janice. First one's best for me. As said previously, DoF is spot on.

I've noticed butterflies like the first and last about here and thought they were all the same species.

The small tortoiseshell and Painted Lady above look like to shots of the same butterfly to my untrained eye As I don't have an observer book of butterflies - what are the differences?

Oh and agree they are great pictures

 

[Hacker]

Oh my! That first shot is perfection, well done.

 

[Janice]

You are right Robert.....Ive been studying long and hard and the first one is a Painted Lady too....but the underside! Good work!!
