Giles, thanks for you comments on my photo! I was just lucky to get this
shot, I have took serval shots with flash but I noticed it would be a very
nice if I can shoot with available light, since the background color was
very beautiful. I have tried one shot only since I didn't expected I can
hand held at that shutter speed (1/125s) with such magnification. Focus was
also very difficult since these two butterflies were landed on a very weak
plant which moves with slight winds, but finally it came out just fine.
