Thank you Srna for such wonderful comment,“Last night I dreamed I was a butterfly, and now I do not know if I am a man who dreamed he was a butterfly, or a butterfly now dreaming I am a man.” I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive...many hugs from me.

Luca,When I was in the gardens with the flowers it was really easy to set up the shot … the flowers were still, the light was perfect (nice and cloudy), so I had plenty of time to focus and adjust my exposure manually ( However, when I was in the butterfly garden it was a whole different story. There was enough light, but the butterflies were moving so fast; sometimes they would only be sitting still for a matter of seconds. Iam glad you like my picture...Hug,riny

Whooooohooooo, Riny!!!! C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S
Your Butterfly images are no less than SUPER!!! You ARE the Butterfly Macro Master!!!
I don't know how you do it, I can only think that these butterflys love you, and that you must have an incredible amount of patience. Whatever your method is, it is working like magic for you... the outcome is incredible, always!! Srna is right, you are Mr. Butterfly Man... or maybe "The Butterfly Whisperer" ;-) 7++++++++++++++++++++
Way to go... by the way, I just uploaded 4 images of your man from the Netherlands.... "The Waltz King".... you probably heard of him. :-)
All the best,
Brigitte
