I took this in a local park; several of these guys were fluttering around in a garden there. Not sure about the ID; does anybody know?

Nikon D70, 60mm Nikkor, 1/500, f/8, ISO 200, handheld w/ flash

All C and C appreciated!

I like the focus on the eyes and the pov, but I do wish there was a little more dof.

Whoa! This is really unusual - and a bit disorienting. I love that great focus on the eyes - and on the flower. The shot really grabs your attention and keeps it! Great impact here!

Creative comp. Hard to get an ID from this perspective. Looks like it could be a skipper of some sort.
