Nice set jp, but I'm drawn to the first one particularly, for its shape, focus, colour and simplicity. I think its excellent

Lovely shots JP - It's a pity you are not closer in to get the details of the butterfly. I know they are difficult to capture on the one time I tried to do it. Cheers, Bernz

Love the first shot especially, but they're all good.

Nice, but I still think you could have zoomed in (not cropped) in couple of shots. Seems like you have pretty nice camera body and nice zoom lenses too ! Taking wider shots (for flowers) sounds good, but at some point you have to zoom in on butterflies !! That's what I think !!

Excellent job, JP. Catching butterflies in flight is not easy!

Great shots!! I really like these. I chased one all around this weekend, and it never did land long enough to get a shot. Thanks for sharing!
