Support Beautiful pastel colours, great composition -- Thennicke (talk) 11:44, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Thennicke, and I was just remembering how this was the kind of picture I used to oppose. I guess I'm still not sure this kind of bokeh is my absolutely favorite thing, but if that's what's needed to get this photo of the butterfly, I'm OK with it. And it is pretty. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. You're always going to get a blurred bokeh with a macro, Ikan and DoF is about 2-3 mm. Charles (talk) 15:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:15, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support Bokeh in macro is always strange, and often can go to banding. This one is OK.--Mile (talk) 20:58, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support 70mm? 24-70? J e e 15:05, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, not my usual 100mm macro lens, Jee. I was on holiday, not really butterfly hunting, and had my 24-70 F4 L IS lens which has a macro facility. Charles (talk) 15:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
