Very beautiful detail, Ian. My only comment would be that the cone of the rudbeckia is a bit too bright and distracting, perhaps if you tone it down a bit there will be a stronger focus on the butterfly.

Looks good, except maybe a little bit of front focus, as the BF's head is a little soft. Since the subject is "Way Down", I have no problem with the cone being bright or in the third intersection. The BF is there as much for balance within the frame as it is for being a part of the subject.

I like this Ian ..the comp is fine ..while the bright yellow does not bother me much .the dof on the butterfly could have been a tad bit more. The crop is perfect and liked ..how you placed the flower in the left bottom corner.

Great look at this bf, Ian in a fine setting. Are the trailing edges of the wings worn or is that structure normal?
