‘Royal Monarch’ has a special poignancy for me as hidden in the spectacularly obvious, ...there are indications of life’s hardships and mortality… the butterfly itself has a damaged wing and the sunflower a damaged petal… Things are not always are as they seem at face value, behind the smiling face of our friends, family and colleagues / there lie scattered amongst the shards of happiness little splinters of hardships and heart-aches… Taken just outside Mogale city (Krugersdorp) in Gauteng, RSA (Taken while test driving a Canon EOS 350D – Still with the Sigma 300mm lens on macro setting.) Regards, Mike

Guys, this is the best macro for me. Just my opinion, of course. This was cropped to bring him in closer and positioning. I did not use a tripod, hand held, would you believe. Hope you like!

I’ve entered the word of layering images and it is SO MUCH FUN! After my first week of practice this is the first creation I felt was worthy of upload to RB. This work of art includes the combination of 2 images – a monarch butterfly, and a black-eyed susan. I enhanced the colors in 3 sections of the monarch’s wing to tie the colors in the composition together and purposely made the butterfly smaller than life. I have entered an entirely new world here and am excited at the possibilities that lie ahead as I search through my extensive collection of images for future works :o) / / Original floral image. / / FLORAL GALLERY / ADD RENEE TO YOUR WATCHLIST
I’m so jazzed. Was lucky enough to get this shot right in front of my house this morning. These guys keep moing and I kept shooting. Out of about 30 shots this was the best before he left. Only minor Photoshop work here. The background was the actual color of the sky today. He’s resting on a Mexican Bird Of Paradise. This is one of those on in a million shots, as far as I’m concerned….oh yeah…...:-) Hope you like! Add me to your watch list now / My Bubblesite

Canon 350D / F/5.6 / 1/400seg / ISO-100 I was sitting day dreaming on my varanda and this most beautiful (and the biggest) butterfly that I had ever seen came to visit my Bougainvillea. When I realised I wasn’t still day dreaming (as I never get the honour of such beautiful visitors) I ran inside to get my camera half expecting she would have already gone! It was so hard as she kept fluttering around but I manage to get this shot. / This is very new to me as I have never been able to capture something as beautiful as this.
