Lovely shot. I was about to suggest a bigger aperture to throw the background slightly more but if that's the standard 300mm lens you can't do that. This really is a great pic - you've captured the details in the butterfly so well. Niiice...

Thank you very much
What lens would you recommend? I have only had the standard 18-55mm lens that came with the camera....I just very recently acquired the 70-300mm lens and although I do really really like it I must admit the shallow depth does tend to irratate me and also the fact that once again the aperature is still at 5.6....At least with my Sony Cyber-Shot I could change the aprerature but with the Canon I am stuck with that stupid 5.6

Like yourself I make do with the standard kit lens. You can get a 300mm f/2.8 and f/4 L series lens, but you'll be paying handsomely for the privilege. I want the 70-200mm f/2.8 though. That'd be a wonderful addition. Check out the full range at Canon's (Oz) website .

A wonderful capture really highlighting the beauty of the swallow tail. Love the colours and vibrancy of this. Very well done indeed. 
(Forgive me for not commenting before this as I have been away and not been around DA too much ... I really enjoy your work and thank you so much for sharing.)

oh, so beautiful!
you did very well for such a strong light, a lot of times it turns out too harsh, but you did excellent here!
i personally like the lady of the flowers a bit more, but that's just because i'm a sucker for blue sky

Thank you
Yeah I got really lucky cause the light was very harsh

they'd look very nice together, i'm not sure what color the wall would be, since both the pictures have different colors, maybe a white, or some bright color, i'm not really one for matching wall colors
and you're welcome
