You certainly produce a different 'arty' feel to your insect shots and as John and Simon say:
It's beautiful.

Hi Simon, most of my macros are full-frames.

Love composition and differential focus effect. The brightness is boardering on high for me but the overall effect of the image is lovely. Cracking.

Cheers,
Chris

a very attractive image Des. I like the fact you've gone for something a little different here and it works well for me. In an ideal world you would have the top of the grass head within the frame but I imagine the butterfly would then end up being a bit too small.

Fantastic shot Des, normally in favour of the butterfly being larger in the frame, but the composition makes this work beautifully.

I can only echo Matt's comment but otherwise it works so very well.
