Thanks a lot for the tips. I did some post processing in photoshop cs4 but it doesn't want to save in jpeg (error). This might be because I got it through bit-torrent. I'll try editing in CS3 extended and post the results. When shooting a butterfly it's hard to lock on the correct focus point because it (and I) move so frequently. Do you think I should use a tripod next time?
