Thank You All, for viewing and the favourable comments.

I am still fairly new to photography and macro( 4 months ) , your encouragement will certainly spur me on to further improve my skills in this new hobbie.

Bluesteel,

Have seen great improvement in your butt shots

Keep it up

Very nice capture there, man with a solid clean b/g especially #3, 4 & 5.
Fully agree with Simon that Macro shooter should aim like this.

Very nice series Bluesteel.

Garion · 3rd January 2006

Wow, beautiful series Bluesteel! Wonderful variety of shapes and patterns on these butterflies, and I love the clean composition and bg. I like the last shot the most.

Hope to see more from you soon!

Shooting Butties is never easy... not to mention getting good compo and BG.

Excellent shots! I like them very much

Thank you melvynyeo for your kind comments.

It was your pictures and tchuanye's pictures posted here in CS that inspired me to take up macro photography.

Thanks again for the inspiration!
