Superb butterfly shot again!
We visited the butterfly garden of the zoo in Emmen (NE of NL), the same zoo from which Anna-Maria and Elsje post so many beautiful (and sometimes touching) photos these days. I found it extremely difficult to get clear and sharp pictures like yours.

I think your new camera may have different result Peter. I shoot these with a telephoto lens. When I shoot them with my regular lens they never are clear. The telephoto's shutter seems to be much quicker. (of course there are MANY I toss out because they are fuzzy lol)

Beautiful shot...lovely coloured butterfly!

wow!!!
