This is more a test than anything else as I believe this might be my first post, not sure. Anyways I hope the image takes, fingers crossed:

Well! It´s a wonderful capture but a bit more DOF and one step of exposure would be great...I think.

This was the first time I used my Sigma lens for butterflies and as I look at the data, I definitely could have pulled out more DOF, and you could convince to increase the EV by a half stop, in some photos I prefer the darker saturated colours but I could have dialed in a bit more. Here's the data on the shot, I checked it out to see where I could improve.

1600×1066 pixels – 151KB
Filename: IMG_0797_0615.jpg
Camera: Canon
Model: EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi
ISO: 800
Exposure: 1/800 sec
Aperture: 5.656854
Focal Length: 150mm

I definitely could have upped the f stop, I had room.
