I shoot with a canon EOS 350D, a Sigma 70-300 4-5.6 and a Speedlite 430EX with a diffuser. The flash is put down 2 stops and the f-number varies between 8 and 16. The shutterspeed was about 1/250. ISO200
And thanks for the nomination

Thanks for the comments guys
I myself are really happy with #7. That was a butterfly that was hard (for me) to photograph. Most of the time they were sitting in dark spots, but this time she wasnt. So i could get a nice shutterspeed, which helped the sharpness of the pic
