Could be, Moose. But, in order to place the shallow DoF, one has to
have camera stability. That's my problem. Adding the monopod to my two
legs allows me to regain some of the stability I've lost with age. I'm
not placing it close to my feet. I'm building a mixed-leg tripod!

hampered sudden response to the movement of my butterflies, I'm
convinced that I got sharper images. Look at the eyes of the
Swallowtail.

This little "Yellow Fellow" lingered for a few seconds and was gone.
I assume he is some form of Sulphur Butterfly.

Conclusion: The monopod is worth the awkwardness that it adds to
moving around and tracking a subject.
Not sure I agree; from these two examples. Looks to me as though the
differences are likely due mostly to differences of placement of a
shallow DoF.
