Hi Shane
I really like the butterfly shot.
Good composition and very clear.
The others are okay, but IMO the butterfly stands out

Nice work Shane. Are these with the 400D, and if so, what lens?

g'day shane

love the kookaburra. and the colour and lighing are good in all of them. you have done well with the roses and white objects are notoriously hard to balance lighting wise.

the butterfly is a bit off tho. you have focused on the flower in front of the critter instead of the insect its self lending a soft look to the picture... some times like in this instance manual focus is better than auto.
