Awesome shot! I agree the angle is neat. Like it's coming in for a landing. I like the back leg kicked up. :) Great timing!

Surely looks strange: only four legs are seen, out of six, and one of them is turned upward at an awkward angle! It is not touching the ground, nor can be flying, with the wings folded up!

Either you caught this gal perched on glass between it and your lens, or you captured this butterfly between wing strokes. It's a stunning capture in either case, Jim. What beautiful "eyes" she has. Peace.

Jim, a lovely butterfly macro, looks like its standing in mid air.

I don't know what it's doing but it gets my vote anyway, it's pin sharp and nicely exposed, the lag my camera has, I could never get this, a great image - Richard.

Jim, I have been looking at this picture for awhile trying to figure out how it was taken. I would suspect that the butterfly was not flying because of the position of his legs. Was it sitting on glass, such as a windshield. You must tell the story behind this shoot.

OK ! I'll fess up. You notice this was shot with the Canon G2. so that pretty much cans the idea of it being " In Flight " fact is 2 people, Andrew and Ronnie figured it out. While I was Shooting " Get it While You Can" , I finished up and returned to the van. when I approached it, I saw the insect on the side window. as I got closer It flew away. I loaded up , got in the drivers seat and low and behold it was back on the side window. A little close for the 300MM !
I grabbed the G2 set it on macro and fired off a few shots, with various settings and angles. this is the one I chose.

Great capture! So cool that it looks like if it would be in the air while it isn't really! Nice details to, interesting "eyes see you" on the wings! ;-)
