Nice exposure and pose of the prairie dog. Do wish the butterfly was closer. Thanks for sharing.

Well captured interaction with the butterfly, Erini! Seems the reintroduced dogs are doing great!

Nice timing to catch the mammal and insect together. I'm glad to see the reintroduction is achieving some reproduction success.

The typical pose and mid air butterfly are components of a nice capture. I think it would have had more impact if you had been closer to fill more of the frame or had more ($$) lens! The bright contrasty light is well handled here, but a different time of day can make for less contrast and pleasing saturation. It would be helpful in making specific comments if you posted your shooting information so we might better consider options.
