Ben, Welcome and nice to see you're making good use of the 300mm. The butterfly shots are excellent and the flower shots mixed in are georgeous. I particularly like the composition of the lantana on right with B&W butterfly out of focus on left. The delicate circular nose/tongue are good captures and great in the last photo. Regards, Bob S.
