just walking through grandparents garden when a colourfull butterly was landing on different flowers :) tried to make it out of first one, but he flew away. luckily he wasn't done with the dandelions and i managed to focus on him :D
*if you have sugestions on how to improve the photo/edit it pls share them ;P

@badala: thank you for your kind words :). It seems i didn't run for the butterfly for nothing ;)
A very nice image.

@Viewfinder: thank you. i hope to have more good images to post in here
hey zo - tks for dropping by to have a look at my shot of the "butterfly" which is a lot easier since it's static :)
it's not easy to shot insects especially skittish ones like butterflies
suggestions: maybe if you try to approach them from the back very very slowly then you can get a shot of the butterfly with it's wings spread out wide and fill the frame of the shot with that spread...noticed you used 28mm maybe if you zoom in more it might help too :)

@kairospix: thanks for your comment :D my camera has lens with 7-28mm which is 34-136mm eqiv for35mm camers , so this means i used a 136mm for that shot :O the butterfly is spreading its wings only when he feels like :P so i waited for him to open them, that is another problem with these insects
hope you come again on my page some time ;)
beautiful!!1

@Inés: thanks for the comment. i didn't think i might get that much attention with this photo :) yes ines you are right it's not easy, but if you also have some luck, it will work out :P
Looks like you were very close to this one.

@Shuva Brata Deb: thanks for your visit :) and i was actually zoomed at max, not to scare the butterfly
bravo, complicata captura
singura chestie dupa mine ar fi ca ai scos niste culori cam... exagerate...
