Thank you Jane

Heather Mellon

A beautiful flight shot Yves and not an easy one to get. Gorgeous tones, detail and composition here.

Yves Langlois

Thank you for the nice comment Heather. Feeling so good to realise It's me that have done the shot.

Debra Plett

Very nice composition and focusing Yves. You certainly have mastered those long rename shots on small subjects.

Yves Langlois

Thank you very much Debra. I am quite proud of that one and thankful to Life that surprised me with that nice success.

Description
Twenty feets away was a big clump of little white flowers with a white butterfly flying erratic. No way I can set the focus on the erratic butterfly. At that distance the butterfly was so tiny that I have a chance out of million that the autofocus would set on it but the scene was interesting and the lighting was good enough to (at least) have fun with the situation. I made about ten shots hoping for the best. I was lucky with those two good shots.
