Frustrated. No able to find dragon flies and butterflies, i turned my attention to ducks. Does anyone knows a good location where I can take macro of dragon flies and butterflies other than the zoo? Thanks.

You should find some in the wetlands along with ducks!
I have heard that the duck union is getting a little p@ssed off with D70 owners for not offering
model releases

G'day,
No idea about the dragon fly or butterflies, but the duck is great, nicely exposed and very detailed... Clear eyes...
Cheers,
Mudder

The duck looks good. In Sydney, the Botanic Gardens have a butterfly enclosure, maybe you have the same thing in Melbourne?

That is a great photo of a duck
Exposure looks great and it seems to be taken from quite a low angle!
Cheers

I am a fan of ducks. As Chris says, wetlands are a good place for dragonflies. As for butterflies, only place I've ever seen a few are Baluk Willam Flora Reserve. This reserve also has wild orchids but it depends on the time of year as to what is in flower.
thanks

Agree with the above posts...but if we are going to give constructive information...the lily bottom left of page is too bright and draws the eye away from the duck. To improve this image darken that lily down a fair bit.

I rekon that if the winner on the current competition picks "Ducks" as the theme for the next competion we'll have 600 entries.
