I was shooting landscapes and saw this big patch of purple thistle with various butterflies on a nectar frenzy.

I quickly changed out my lens for the big Tamron and captured them at the closest range possible with thin DOF. All are handheld at 600mm.

You have a great camera and a very nice Tamron 600mm lens. It really shows up as "quality" in every way. Very nicely done! I love the sharpness, the compositions, the contrast, the interest, just everything for all of them!

Thank you so much :D I appreciate your kind and substantive comments! I think the 5dm3 and Tamron really go good together as image quality stands up pretty good after heavy cropping. Here's an example of the third shot crop.

Your hand is much steadier than mine! Good job.
