Description

Taken at the backyard of my parents home, (Darwin, Northen Territory). I was actually helping them clear out some trees when I spotted this. So what did I do?? like any other budding photographer I ran inside the house to grab my camera, and zoom lens. The butterfly was no bigger than a actual thumbnail. The reason I named this shot 'Butterfly One' is because this is my first butterfly photo in my very shot photography experience. EOS 300D, 70 - 200mm, F2.8 Canon IS USM. Details: 1/100s, f2.8, handheld, ISO 400. Thanks for viewing and comments appriciated.

This is superb - I love the depth you have got here by including some of the foliage. Looking forward to seeing many more shots

Beatiful shot!!! And an excellent composition, i do however think you blurred out the leafs right beneath the butterfly a little too much, other than that its GREAT!!!

Absolutly excellent pic! This species is really a little one. I like the contrast between the colours -- white/grey butterfly and green plants. Congratz for your first buttfly pic.

brill - I don't know if the dof was deliberate or fortuitous - but it works very well.

Wonderful how the butterfly shows up so clearly...I agree, butterflies are a difficult subject. It took me a while before I managed to get a picture of one.

Very well done, I love the selective blurring and contrast of the B&W flutterby against the green.
