Description
A thirsty butterfly slurping droplets of water from a green leaf at The Butterflyhouse in Stockholm.Shot about 150 frames (that turned out to be crap) before I decided to start shooting bursts of 4-5 frames at 8.5 fps. The depth of field is very shallow and I had alot more luck nailing focus right with this method. I think it's a beautiful butterfly and I'm happy that I managed to portray it in the way I wanted to.
Equipment: EOS-1D Mark II N, EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

What a great scene you've managed to capture here, and those colors are just amazing. The colorscheme in this photo is very unusual and not anything you see often here on dA, they make me smile. Great contrast between the butterfly and the rose.

I think that it's clear. You know what you're doing with 8.5 fps.
