Mating

First off, I have entered 4 photos in the 2011 American Photo Images of the Year Contest and would loooooove your help in voting for them.  Here is a link to all the entries; mine should be near the top.  There are some amazing photographers in this contest, so I realize I don’t have much of a chance, but please vote and help me out!!  You have to register with Popular Photo, but that shouldn’t matter, its a great magazine!  Thank you so much for your help!!

Today i have some more macro photos for ya.  I stumbled upon 2 butterflies mating on Sunday while waiting for our brunch table to be ready at the awesome little restaurant in Lago d’Averno.  The last is an artsy approach, but I like the result.  Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting!!  Don’t forget to vote for my photos here!!

  4. Great shots!
    I agree with Jan and Edith, the detail is outstanding. Like the DOF as well, nice job.

    Sunday must have been butterfly mating day, I too captured a few images of a pair. What a coincidence. Mine remain on the camera, really haven’t looked them over yet. I recall one of the butterflies landing on my bear foot. :-)

    Will sign up and support your contest effort, Adam. Sounds like fun, plus I get to see more awesome photos.

  5. Very nice shots Adam. I really like the bokeh in the second photo
