Beautiful set. I love the contrast between the butterfly and the flowers in both. The first also has great bokeh with the yellow colors really making the purple flower pop out.

One weird question, do butterflies only have one antennae? Or maybe this one has had the other broken off? Dunno why I noticed that haha

This may be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. Is this shot possible with an original 6.3 MP Rebel? I mean will that camera produce this clarity and color? Thanks. DP

I don't see why not if you had the right lighting! That is most important by far! I am no expert.........just my 2 cents!

just like paulie stated, I think any camera with the right lighting and lens would be able to reproduce this shot. Just remember we're viewing a max 1024 pixel image here, if you had the 6mp body it would look fine on the web, but as you blew it up you would notice the pixelation a lot faster than you would on an 10 or 12 megapixel body.
