Wasn't sure if I should list this as macro or nature. It's almost macro style, but the 55-300 isn't anywhere near a true macro shot. Very little PP done with this shot - some levels adjustment, a little saturation and contrast - it just came out of the camera looking great. I like the colors and contrast the 55-300 delivers.

My self I would have shot this at 400 or 800 ISO so as to get too f-11 for a better depth of field
or maybe even f-16 But that's me: My monitor may be off but it seams a little dark here:
well done over all:

I've had good luck with butterflies with the K5.Try 100-200 ISO 1/125sec f/16 or higher with the on board flash.You will be surprised.--charliezap

I agree. But a nice shot nonetheless!

Nice colors. I really like the oranges with the yellow and green. Butterflies are hard. I get tired just thinking about chasing them around. Charlie and EM are champs at these kinds of shots so their advice is golden.

Lovely image. To me this image works because of the color, contrast and the narrower depth of focus gives it a more dreamy feel.

Very pretty! Looks like that lens works wonderfully for you... I too love the tones and contrasts, and the bokeh is really nice.
