It's sad that part of its shadow is missing. But it's still a very nice shot.

Very nice shot, scyrene!

Nice! Eye focusing enabled(?) - I mean the eye spots on the wings off course! They are not dancing (and I'm sure you know it), could be a courtship and then they do it for relatively long time but still not easy shot - not at all!

A small heath butterfly (Coenonympha pamphilus) I chanced upon near home yesterday. R6, RF 100-400 + 1.4x extender; 560mm, 1/640s, f/11, ISO 800.View attachment 209512

Great!

Of cause! The R5 could catch them by BBF. But as I had the TC attached the AF speed has been to slow. I had better results (in better light) with the Rf 100-400 without a TC.

I really like your shots. Well done, ISv.

Thanks, I wish the Butterfly was different species but it may happen this summer in Europe! By far more species there!

A first for me - an Orange Tip Butterfly in flight. It was, as usual, against bushes and if you have ever seen them you would know they are very fast and erratic. Somehow the R5 and 100-500 locked on.

This could be a southern small white (pieris mannii) at Kos island. Not sure about that.

Getting ants so close, I always have to think of the sci-fi horror movie "Phase IV"

Thank you very much! But I hope you will stay yourself and continue to develop your own skills
I think, it has a lot to do with patience and developing an eye for the right moment.
