A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

I think this is a fine images - I also think the limitations of takeing a photo in a artifical inviroment make it difficult - Also your camera may have been set up a little slow - hence the motion blur - But there is so much more of interest here it is well worth viewing - Thankz for letting us view :)

We have an enclosed butterfly garden, at our zoo and I just love it.. always my favorite part of visiting there. And they are always a fun challenge to try to capture.. Nice work.

Lots going on in this fine foto, Melinda, but I do detect the butterfly as it tries to hide from your lens. Incidentally, how much is the admission to the San Diego Zoo? I bet it's a lot more expensive than the Los Angeles Zoo. Glad you're feeling better and more up to par. At my age healing takes forever and a day.
