Yes, not an ordinary capture, Rense.
That's what separates a snapshot from a work of art.

Ordinary butterfly, perhaps, but extraordinary capture, Rense. The yellow hues and the softness of the butterfly are lovely elements.

Thank you Tamia! Although I find the Pentax 100/4 not easy to work with in 'real' macro work (1:1 and beyond), for butterflies it's really a great lens!

Common maybe but not ordinary.
I like that you gave it a bit of space for the subject to breathe and not cramped it in.

Well done.
