The end of summer - the butterfly looked like it was going to expire soon, very slow and let me get very close.

Thank you, Angela. I agree, I would never have seen the tiny details of insects if I hadn't started shooting macro. I am still amazed every time I catch another one.

Excellent set!
I have just one suggestion: You will capture better resolution at f/16 or f/11, rather than f/20, due to "Small Aperture Diffraction". Read more here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-59819-1.html

Thanks. Actually, I started macro with my 5D MkII. I sent it in for repair, so switched the lens to my 7D and find I like it better for macro.
