Wow, I mostly shoot birds but have been trying to capture butterfles a lot lately. This image would be my biggest achievement if it were mine. The clarity and colors combined wih the dark background makes this image pop for me. This gives me something to strive for, Thanks

A truly excellent piece of work here, Scott. The small bit of flutter?, or whatever the blur is from seems to add tremendously to the mostly static scene. The non moving part of the scene is a perfect showcase of both the flower and butterfly too. The facial area is amazing to witness at this level of magnification.
Excellent craftsmanship used here all around........

Scott: Great capture on a great perch. Nice job on getting the eyes and antennae sharp and a terrific BG. Most excellent.>=))>

Excellent colors that pop & great details, a very attractive frame Scott.
I especially like the head-on POV and comp.. Heck, the B-fly even seems to be looking the right way
Very nice

Yes, Scott, she's a beauty although in this case the dramatic colors in the flower grab more of my attention then the bf. The details in the face are outstanding. The combination of flower and butterfly works very well.
