February 7.

Went to the beach looking for sea birds. No birds at all,
but there was this gorgeous butterfly.
Monarch butterflies have only been in Australia
since about 1871. Not a very common sight around here.
No saturation added.

1/320s f/8.0 at 400.0mm iso100 full exif

Another vote. The butterfly is so sharp and 3D and just beautiful with that blurred background of flowers.

Guest		07-Feb-2006 10:21
WOW! The really hits you! Great colour and contrst, and the DOF really makes the butterfly stand out. GMV. Also one hell of a contrast to grey Britain at the moment :-(
