Had to pretty much lie down in the mud and leopard crawl to get this image of a butterfly feeding off the juice of a fallen half eaten mango....

this is freaking amazing! awesome job.

Thanks for the comment. It was really hard to get the shot handheld balancing on my elbows in the mud... The butterfly kept moving slightly and its tongue was almost never still so controlling depth of field was a "shoot and pray" affair. I didn't even dare check my LCD in case the movement scared them away...
:icondafrogman:
Thanks for the compliment, I don't get out to shoot during the day much with work and all, so I guess the moral of the story is make the most all opportunities especially those that are literally just lying around. Glad you like the shot.
