[OM] IMG: Monarch

[usher99]

Monarchs are often good sports and will not infrequently  return to the 
same  flower if disturbed.  I like to be ready and stay focused and 
alert even if Mr. Monarch  flittered away.

   I like the composition of the 3rd shot.  The distal wing could be a 
tad sharper.  Buddlea are nice B'fly magnets but if they are not on a 
bloom near an edge it seems
difficult to get a nice shot w/o a busy background.  We planted State 
Fair Zinnias along a retaining wall which overlooks a woods about 60ft 
away.  It is a good place to hang out
in the late afternoon if the Monarchs are visiting. Stopping  down  
then does not yield a busy background.  Monarch shots with no flaws are 
still a challenge.  Dean has some.  I don't think AF is an absolute 
necessity as long as one is armed with a nice OM kit.

Still chasing 'em and trying, Mike
