One of your best butterfly captures Vern! We get tons of these Skipper butterflies on our Lantana. That is also where the praying mantis hang out because the Skippers are a favorite food!

Great color graduation and bokeh. Good catch on the photo - i would have never "seen" the potential image.

Beautiful sharp image Vern.

Beautiful Vern! Love all the colors in this. Taking the D50 for a spin these days? I think this is a good example of how resolution brings out detail. I find the edges of this look a little pixelated -- especially noticeable around the edges of the yellow sprouts in the flower and the antennae of the butterfly. Still, regardless of the camera, it still put out a beautiful image -- especially since the guy behind the lens has such a good eye for great things!

Looks like a Fiery Skipper to me, and a lovely shot of it. A moth would have feathery tips to its antennae.

Very lovely capture of this little Skipper Butterfly. V
