Beauty, Jim. I like the angled comp and the way the BF is nicely separated from bg. Excellent subject detail, and a terrific oof but still colorful supporting bg. The light area in the bg just to the right of the URC of the wings catches my eye a bit. You might burn it and/or clone other bg into this small area, but this is obviously a very minor suggestion and the only suggestion I have. :toast:

Lovely catch, Jim. Excellent sharpness on both the bf and the foreground flowers set off beautifully by the oof flowers and bush in the background.

This is gorgeous, Jim !! Excellent detail in the butterfly, a lively pose well captured, a fine composition and a lovely soft, multi-coloured background. A delight to behold !
