Butterfly with Nikon 200mm Micro

[TimIng]

Hello all,

As a break from my normal photo pursuits, I thought I'd try out a newly obtained Nikon 200 Micro Lens on a D70. Whilst this isn't 'wild' in the 'great outdoors' sense of the word, it was taken on a living real butterfly at the Butterfly house at Rutland Water. For this photo I also had the close-up diopter on the front.

I'm pleased with it.



Any Comments?

A very nice detailed image.
I would be interested to see the results on butterflies in the wild, the shallow depth of field should work well on images of basking butterflies with their wings open.
