I really like this. The background is nicely out of focus and the butterfly is perfectly sharp including both antennae. Even its flower perch is completely in focus.

Even the thumbnail of this one caught my attention. You could see the nice DOF...This view shows off the nice detail you have captured. :toast:

Looks great! It does look like some of the yellow highlights on the abdomen are blown, but that may be part of the "clarity" software.
