That's very nice. I also am curious as to how you get them to stay still.
He asks them nicely...
I walk up to them very very slowly and quietly, plant my monopod,
focus (it's a manual focus lens), set the exposure, and if they're
still there, shoot a bunch of frames.
If they still haven't moved, I take a step closer and repeat. I keep
doing that until they fly away.
Usually they fly away before I even get one frame, but sometimes I get
surprisingly lucky.

I do the same , but without the monopod - kinda. I see something I want
to capture and I immdiately click off an insurance shot (the
at-least-i-got--as-hot-to-remember-i was-there-shot) and then do what
you did... with butterflies, people, animals, etc.
It's a lovely shot, that, and I am now signed in and following you.

You present that photo and then you quote Cartier-Bresson on sharpness? ; )
What can I say?
Thanks everyone for the nice words.
cheers,
