Bird's Eye View: Oh, you thought I meant the 85mm f/1.2L II was only good for people portraits? Noooooo...this lens creates such an incredibly clear, silky & shallow depth of field that it makes any subject look as though it's sitting in front of a fake backdrop. But be warned: focusing with this lens can be a challenge—the DoF is so ridiculously razor thin that I had to stop down just to get his beak and his eyes in focus. :)
Note: To clear up some confusion: I've actually owned the 85mm f/1.2L II for about 6 months now (I thought including Grandma's portrait from last Fall would convey that). C'mon now—as if I would recommend a lens without first trying it out! :)
Thank you all for your feedback & support! I will catch up this weekend!

And only the photographer himself knows the effect he wants. He should know by instinct, grounded in experience, what subjects are enhanced by hard or soft, light or dark treatment. ~Bill Brandt

This frame was shot right before queen alerted on me. I hadn't even noticed that this female was going into alert mode. You can tell by her wings being lifted and her body is raised from nest.

Dance like a butterfly...A butterfly is a mainly day-flying insect of the order Lepidoptera, the butterflies and moths. Like other holometabolous insects, the butterfly's life cycle consists of four parts, egg, larva, pupa and adult. Most species are diurnal. Butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight.
