take note on DOF and composition, #2 and #3 are good shots, except for the leaf

pics have some minimal crop, about 10% down, i used PS canvas size make to 90%

yup the white tail was burnt, couldnt seem to get the tail correct, tried till the butt got fed up of my flash n hid behind the leaf

for that leaf i couldnt do too much to it, hehe it's part of the background or i'll scare away the butt hehe. But overall the butt was very obident, too bz feeding i guess.

Thanks all.

you can always try startling the b'fly after you shoot a couple of shots and hope it fly to a more suitable position
