I really love this one. It's the varying focus, I think - the sharp clarity of the foreground and the subject, and the almost otherworldly blur of the background. The limited colour palette, the pale greens and such, look lovely :3

Thank you. :) And thanks for the short depth of field go to my brother's Nikon D50, which I borrowed for some of the butterfly shots. I really like the effect of using what is supposed to be a telephoto lens for close shots. *L* The only problem being that you really have to catch your target dead on, or you end up with one wing out of focus, or some such. It did amuse me that the butterfly chose to sit in a tree that matched it. Perhaps it was taking advantage of natural camouflage. :)

Heh, yes, I see what you mean about having such a, hm, delicate sense of focus is that part of the subject may be in focus, and another part completely out. Might be sort of neat, though, depending on how you used it in the composition :3

Yes, it can make for cool effects, but I end up with a lot of shots that don't work because of it as well, which is why I also used my own camera for the butterflies. *L* They have the disconcerting tendency to move just as you are taking a shot, which makes it hard to keep them in the focal plane. *L*

Heh, definitely can understand that. Live, wild, moving subjects can be hard to work with :o
