I haven't taken any shots for quite some time...so these are from the last butterfly exhibit at the Botannical Gardens...

Beautiful shots, I have never been able to attempt these yet. Good work!

Lovely series, Leona! I never tire of seeing butterflies, and your images are certainly no exception. I particularly like the colors of the last one!

Gorgeous! You're making me want to get out and try butterfly photos again. I have yet to try them with my dSLR, and think they would definitely test my skills!

I'll admit it straightout, this is terrible feedback. Nevertheless, I AM SO JEALOUS! I cannot get a decent butterfuly shot even at the Botanical Gardens. These are so good, Leona.
