Default They will soon be gone.

I enjoy watching the butterflies in my garden but it won't be long before they disappear for the winter. I decided to take some shots so I could enjoy them that way. Let me know what you think.

Its hard to tell as the thumbanail is so small. But your dof looks good and the colors look good.

Default Oops.

I am not sure what I did wrong when uploading the picture. I might try again. I use another forum and have had no problem but for some reason this one didn't go through. Hmmmm.

Smile Technical help!

I will try to find out why it keeps putting my picture in as a thumbnail. In the meantime I believe if you will click on the picture itself it will open in a larger size. Sorry for the problem.

The easiest way to post a larger picture in your post (instead of a thumbnail) is to use a site like Flickr, Zooomr, or PicasaWeb and then follow the instructions in this thread to post your picture. But the thumbnail works too

Default Thank you!

Do you know if it will work with the Shutterfly site? I will try this next time. Thank you for the heads up.

I'm not overly familiar with Shutterfly and whether or not it will let you embed HTML, sorry

Hmm. I'll have to check it out. In the meantime I may decide to join on of the others. Never hurts to have multiple outlets.

txmama, Welcome

Very good composition and color. I do agree about saving worthy subjects for the Winter blahs, you'll enjoy this even more then.

If you click on the thumbnail, you can see the image at 522x640px - attachments work fine although posting a medium size picture hosted on Flickr or equivalent (that would be 500px on the longest side - please keep below 600px on the longest side) give a bit more immediacy in the presentation.

Talking of immediacy, I would say this shot is a bit on the underexposed side. What kind of camera (and lens) have you got and what were the settings? You could make this brighter and a bit more eye-catching with post processing but there are probably options that would do that in camera as well for future reference.

Being over bright is not a virtue but a dull shot will normally look less striking than one that is subtlely more vivid.
