I like to come out of my confort zone every now and then!

I love to take pictures of birds but just wanted to change as there are so many beautiful butterflies in CR.

For this one

Mark IV
100mm macro f/2.8 @ f/7.1
ISO 400
SS 1/10sec
Tripod
Full frame

Thanks for looking.  :D

Fine closeup - the eyespots make Caligo wings striking.

Very nice Macro, Juan. Those "eyes" are placed at the right vantage points increasing compositional interest.

Love this. I tried this last time I was at Gainesville, Florida at the Butterfly Rainforest. They are beautiful! Well done.
