D200 w. Signa 150 f2.8 macro
1/640 @ f10 ISO 800 handheld natural light
Not the best background, I know and I would have preferred a native foodplant. We don't often get painted ladies up here in such numbers, however, and I really do love the markings on the underwings.

Looks pretty darned good to me Malcolm!
Good detail from near tip to far tip, and the bg doesn't compete with the subject in my view

A beautiful shot. The bg only adds to the picture in my view.
