Jim, I like the way the small DoF shows the butterfly as a different texture
to the plant. See the nice soft blossom rendering just above and below.
Nicely composed as well, Jim. Cool. I've posted your address to all
Australians and everyone is mailing a lantana bush to you to plant in your
garden. Keep an eye out for the postman! You should get the first two
million parcels soon.

Cheers
Geoff

Despite Geoff's comments about how this plant is unloved in OZ, it seems to
attract butterflies moreso than any we have planted this year.  My wife and
I watched this Swallowtail for more than ten minutes through the window
while she tried to classify it.  She then asked me to get a picture of it.
I slipped outside and got off two shots before it decided to leave.
