First shots I've taken in about six months, and to my surprise I'm quite pleased with them. :) Scale is 1.4:1. Butterflies certainly don't seem quite so pretty this close up!

Any C&C would be great, thanks for looking!

What an amazing thing photography is. We can make cockraoches look good and butterflies look scary.

Great work.

Wonderful detail on them, but what butterfly is that?

Thanks for the replies! :)

Sadly I have no clue of the IDs of these butterflies Linda; I took the shots in a butterfly house containing many different species. If anyone does have any idea I'd love to know.

Alphamalex: the lens is Sigma 150mm, and for lighting I used the Canon Speedlite 430EX II on a Wimberley bracket with a Lumiquest softbox. ;)
