And always have perfect depth of field and never center the subject in the frame. But I liked the colors on this little Buckeye butterfly and figured I'd post it at any rate.  I shot this my last trip to Brazos Bend on the prairie wildflower trail. I used D80, Nikkor AF 105/2.8D on a tripod. Exif is in the photo.--------------------------- Jim |

Horrible photo - you are right you should never break the rules. I wish I were that bad at nature shots :) |

Jim, i'm not macro guru but i don't think everything has to be dictated by the rule or enough DOF. Be creative and ditch the rule! The most important thing is good use of DOF, also I don't see anything wrong with centering this image. It's nearly symmetrical, i would say good job leveling the image. If you were to step down, it would reveal the much-busy background that likely to spoil the overall smooth backdrop, though i hate the dark side on the right. The color and pattern are vibrant, accurate and your flier appeared in the air from the angle, very pleasing image. |

This is a super image, Jim! I prefer think of the "rules" as guidelines, which can be tossed away depending on the subject matter and creativity of the photographer. --------------------------- Everyone wants to be a rock star, but no one wants to learn the chords. |

Very very nice Jim. Love the butterfly colors against the green background. Is this in flight or was sitting on something that you masterly hid? |
