Your image is really soft. Focus is critical in macro photography and not every frame you take will end up in focus. National Geographic shoots thousands of frames and use a handful of them in a story. Be patient. Learn how to use the equipment you have and most of all keep shooting.

A little soft, yes, but you've got the detail and good colours and composition, Lee! I'm wondering if it was a fairly big crop, and that's where the softness comes from.
Dave.

Dave, I think you hit the nail on the head!
I've attached the original for you to see and YES it's a HUGE crop because the butterfly wouldn't let me get close. At 1/100 and f5.0 with a 105mm hand held I was lucky to see it at all but it was sumply too beautiful of a butterfly to pass up.
Thanks very much!

PLEASE PLEASE !!! Somebody tell me how to edit a comment. I corrected a mispelled word and it double posted.
I asked the same question of the "contact us" folks a week or so ago but have had no response at all!
Nice!

Hi Lee...unfortunately there is no way to edit a comment once you hit the "add comment" button. You can always post a second "correction" comment! No worries though...everyone understands!
Hope this helps...
Take care...Robin
