If only I were faster

than this butterfly! Every time I had it in focus, it went somewhere else! It was quite a mission to get this part in the frame.

[Doris J]

You did catch a great focus, and nice plants as well.

[Carole G]

How lovely, I only get to see these in the butterfly house

[sheri]

Wow, but the part you captured is sharp and lovely. Very nice.

[Chris Cook]

That’s a lot more butterfly than I’ve ever been able to capture. I admire your perseverance.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

oh aren't they hard - but look at your focus wow!

[Casablanca]

I can't tell you how many empty frames I have had over the years trying to photograph dragonflies and butterflies!

[Susan Wakely]

Great capture with so much detail on the ever moving butterfly.

[Kathy A]

You may not have got the whole butterfly but the bit you got is wonderful!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Super - they can be quick can't they !

[Joan Robillard]

Beautiful capture

[Gosia]

You captured it well Diana

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful Diana,

[Kate]

Great focus on what you did catch. Butterflies do flit about quite a bit.

[Steve Chappell]

Great capture even if it wouldn't cooperate

[Esther Rosenberg]

those butterflies are fast, it is a beauty

[Mags]

Beautiful!

[Les Coleman]

Great capture.

[Issi Bannerman]

Nice!

[Merrelyn]

Beautiful butterfly, they're hard to catch.

[LManning (Laura)]

Well done!

[Pat]

Oh how lovely! You've got the best bit of him drinking the nectar, fav.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful close up capture.

[KV]

Love this composition.

[Nina Ganci]

butterflies are harder to capture than one thinks

[Steve Jacob]

That's the challenge of photography

[tony gig]

Wonderful...fav

[katy]

I have struggled with this too. You got a great shot here.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

what you have got is in focus which is more than i would get!

[Allison Maltese]

Yes, they can be very tricky. Nice focus on the head portion though.

[Milanie]

Nice detail on that head though!

[Poppo Livy]

Butterflies are so hard

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They were originally called "Flutter-bys" which seems very appropriate since they never sit still! You got the face and his "sucker" in tact though.

[Bill]

So frustrating. Not a bad shot afterall.

[Rick]

Yeah, they can be so frustrating. Great shot.
