The falloff between the butterfly's wings and the flower is so abrupt (and that lens is SO sharp at focus plane) that it almost looks like a cut-and-paste job. At a different angle it wouldn't be so noticeable but right there with the wings flat, it just jumps out at me. > It was so hot in that sunflower field, I lost 3 pounds sweating!!
