 outdoors, 4 pm.. random butterfly within range... Tips for focus improvements?

so how this relates to the challenge is a bit of a shoehorn, i'll admit it. but you normally don't see a butterfly's tongue sticking out, especially in macro shots because we're more concerned with the wings. so this one is taste testing, and my job is taste testing all the food my man cooks for me. See?

Not sure how the butterfly relates to the occupation in the title. I'll be looking for your description after the challenge.

i like the connection to the challenge - i guess i will have to wait to see what you test...

the details on the butterfly are pretty solid (not as sharp as I would like) but the leaf in the back with the pixelation issues

I was a little miffed at your shoehorning but this is one of the most beautiful macro shots ever.
