Autumn Leaf
Butterfly, that is. (doelesechallia bisaltide) Looks like a fallen leaf at a distance. This was in the Cecil B. Day butterfly center at Callaway Gardens.

F5.6, 1/125th sec., ISO 400, EV +0.3, D300 w 90mm Tamron macro lens, HH, standing.

Neat! Good shot. How did it go @ Gallaway? Were you able to shot with a tripod? Noticed this was HH.

No tripods allowed. It would have been difficult anyway, as there was a busload of school kids at one time. I lost a few of the hand held shots from motion blur, but it was light enough and the butterflies were docile enough that it wasn't a problem.

I've started a FlickR set, which will eventually have about a hundred photos of butterflies and other venues at Callaway:
