Twenty feets away was a big clump of little white flowers with a white butterfly flying erratic. No way I can set the focus on the erratic butterfly. At that distance the butterfly was so tiny that I have a chance out of million that the autofocus would set on it but the scene was interesting and the lighting was good enough to (at least) have fun with the situation. I made about ten shots hoping for the best. I was lucky with those two good shots.

A beautiful flight shot Yves and not an easy one to get. Gorgeous tones, detail and composition here.

Very nice composition and focusing Yves. You certainly have mastered those long rename shots on small subjects.
