Post Butterfly

I am very interested in macro photography of many things. As I am just learning what would you do to this type of shot to make it better or more interesting, add the wow factor.

EXIF information
Canon EOS 550 d, with EF100mm F2.8 macro USM, apperture f2.8, 1/125, ISO 200 camera in auto mode, no flash
Thank you.

John, I really like Macro also. First of all, you did a very nice job of a closeup capture. My suggestions would be to use a smaller aperature to get greater depth of field and try to get the entire butterfly in the frame. Nice job.

Thank you for the tips. Will try them out if I can find decent insect on this raining cold day.
