Nikon D300, 200mm Micro Lens, 1/250 sec @ f/13, natural light (I may have used a reflector)

This pair was hanging around my garden when I was out taking flower photos. We don't see as many butterflies as in the past, they are in a sharp decline in our area these past few years.

Nice composition and details. The background really helps make the butterflies pop. Nicely done. :toast:

Wonderful capture. Solid clean dof and b/g. I like the pose of both. Looks like the far one is poised to leap.
