Butterfly - odd angle
I was shooting this butterfly, who was remarkably calm and stayed very still for me, so I got in as close as I can, and composed the shots with odd crop and angles in mind. I was rather pleased with them, but appreciate that the sort of crop may not be to everyone's taste. Any comments welcome 
I think I prefer the second.

I like both, but I agree there is something more exciting about the more off kilter angle of the second one

Nice photos The lens is surely something else but so it should be for the money
I tried to get a picture or a moth on the window with its wings spread out this evening but the little ****** flew off. Story of my life
