One of the most beautiful butterflies in the world that Butterfly books will never be complete without is the Cethosia biblis, also known as the Lacewing butterfly. This master work of art, to my surprise, flutters around Villa Escudero. I am sure, these flying palette of colors will reveal the soft spot of the Hacienda's tough lady. I will not be surprised to see her put down her bins when light comes in her garden. The upperside Canon 40D 300mm F4L 0.002 sec (1/500) ISO 200 handheld The underside Canon 40D 300mm F4 0.004 sec (1/250) ISO 200 handheld

Wowowowwww.... now, I see why the first is your new avatar, a feast for my worn eyes, TeLyds! The composition, colors and bokeh are to die for..... hands down your best work so far. If ever I've to steal your photos Madame Paru-paro, this capture will be on top of the list.

Gosh. I should frame this page! Maraming salamat po Ka Mastah. Coming from you, I am delightfully elated. Humbled. It is a good encouragement to give more time to butterflies! I can give you the raw file anytime. telyds
PS. I really do not know how the color appears on your screen. When I post this to Flicker and PBPF, the colors fade a little. The colors are very bright in my Mac screen. telyd

The capture is perfect, while the processing can be re-done over and over again till it suits the taste of your end-user. ;D

Congratulations Lyd for an excellent butterfly capture. I suggest you print and frame it. That's how you will really appreciate what you've accomplished when you see it on print. Cheers.
Conrad

Conrad Thanks Conrad. Yes. I plan to do that. I have thousands of butterfly photos from my paro-parozzi trips for the the past 10 years, but you see, I got the F4 L lens only recently and how I wished I had this when I was in Mt. Apo, Mt, Kitanglad, Mt. Kanlaon, Mt. Isarog, Mt. Salakot etc. I am not young anymore... maybe there will not be another chance. But it is ok, I am very happy just the same that I am bird and butterfly watching.
