    Cool image Loupey. The implied action does it for me too. The butterfly looks like it's in a hurry to get to those flowers.

    This is my favorite out of the two (it seems that having a butterfly in action is most unusual) but I'd say that they are both truly excellent. Your technical execution is fine with both and I really dig how you framed them.

    two thumbs up

    Wow! is all I have to say. The butterfly looks like he's gliding through the air rather than flying. Great shot, Loupey! Perfect contrast between foreground and background as well. Job well done.

    Thanks for the feedback, guys!

    Dylan, Payn, and GB: so the implied action gives it that edge over the static shots - thanks for commenting.

    Seb and Schrackman - thanks for the feedback on the cropping and foreground/background issues.

    Your comments mean a lot!

    Absolutely. From personal experience with these subjects, it's impressive in it's sharpness and detail. It really shows your skill and patience.

    Great capture. It seems a perfect moment and the DOF is amazing as well. Good job.
