Butterflies *lotsa pics*

Went to Amsterdam Zoo yesterday to test my new macro lens. Offcourse i went to the butterfly garden, because it was warm and dry there......and the fact that there are butterflies there helped alot too.

#11 for me as its something a bit different

 

[doenoe]

thanks for the replies
I liked #11 too, when i looked on the LCD i could only hope that the head was in focus.........and it was In #7 the butterfly was sitting on a sign. Thought it was rather cool that both almost had the same color.

Wonderful stuff. Sharp, rich and vibrant. A pleasure to view. The website is good also. Love the infrarood and roofvogels... Looking forward to the next installment.

Love them all since I love macro photography. But my favorite one is #14! Reminds of a pic of a fly that I took (which also happens to be my avatar). You can actually see the hair on it's legs

Brilliant shots, sharp and great colour. Out of curiosity, how many mm for the macro lens?

thanks for the comments
Didnt do alot of cropping in #14, i love this lens.
The lens i use is a Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG Macro.

Gorgeous shots - every single one. #13 and #14 stand out the most for me though.
