Thanks very much Brian. Think this is about the first time I have managed to get in close to a butterfly with the 100mm. Perhaps I get in really close with the MP-E (not seen much use lately), not here though - I went back to this site for a walk with my wife and all the thistles had been mown down.

Thanks very much. I like the light although the individual is a bit the worse for ware. So was I after this shoot, temperatures were about 35C in the shade.

I agree on number 1. The wear on the poor skipper's wings loses a lot of the shot's good lighting. Number 3 of the gatekeeper is very nice with great composition.

I agree, shame about #1. Nice to try out the lighting though.
Glad you like #3. Thanks for your feedback eccles.

#1 is my favorite.
it not easy to get so close, you must have been in stealth mode;) .

like the compo of #3.

overall, the pictures have good exposures and colors.

Thanks Bama. As I say the first two are with the 300/4 which helps although the others are with the 100mm macro and flash setup which is very close and intrusive. My stalking skills must be improving!
