Very nice, Ian. I like the well balanced comp and the brown BF on the complementary yellow floral perch. The light is a bit harsh, which caused a loss of detail in the petals, but it certainly brought out excellent detail in the BF.

Ian, completely agree with Scott. You seem to have hit some kind of a goldmine with these not so often seen butterflies.

Lovely look at this bf, Ian. The colors are delightfully warm and inviting and your focus is spot on.
