Hey Hey Lois – thanks for stopping by – these little guys have been fairly approachable (slowly) as they are in a prime hunting area. I did want to play with this one (sharpen out the branches etc) but did not – this is pretty much from the camera with cropping - I didnt 400 photos like your butterfly – but pretty close - I am now throwing away photos that I would have cherished a year ago - guess that is progress - cheers and happy shooting – dave
