Hi Ed,
Your postman looks pretty good. I like the upside down pose with the butterfly nice and sharp. The orange spots add some additional color to the scene too. Well done.........................Jim

Ed: Perfect exposure on this guy and a really good BG. Superb plane of focus management with your lens at f5.6. Most excellent. >=))>

What a beauty, Ed. The details in the bf and flower are great and the background adds further interest. A lovely image.

Beautifully captured, Ed. Great that you were able to line it up to get is all in focus at f/5.6 because that aperture gave you a wonderful natural floral background without being distracting.
