shot using nikon d50 + 200mm f4 ais

one of my 1st few attempts shooting butterflies and identifying them. Please correct me if im wrong with the species.

Most of the shots are cropped because of the lens.
its not easy with a 200mm =X

Nice butterflies, but I'm more interested in how you came up with the right exposure since there's no in-camera metering with that combination.

humm...the photos lack sharpness...For Macro photography, sharpenss and DOF is important.

Hi,
I feel the shots a bit out of focus ..

Thanks

i think this is the sharpest it can go. if im not wrong, the lens has a 1:4 magnification.
most of the pics are cropped images. well.. i couldnt afford a macro lens yet tho =[
i guess this is the best it can get.
