Excellent catch on this Sulfur, Jim. The front to back dof is great and really lets the details in the bf and flower's center shine.

I know this as a Mexican Sunflower (tithonia rotundifolia). A good analogous color relationship, appropriate DOF and good detail make this a top tier photo. Good, careful work!

This is beautiful, Jim! Excellent detail and color on the butterfly and flower, and a great bg.

Can't see how this could be any better Jim. Very sharp throughout, very colourful, I like the oof focus detail in the background and it is nice to see the separation in the wings. Gaham

Very nice, Jim ! The b/f is sharp and in perfect pose, and the slightly mottled background sets it off beautifully. I only wonder whether the subject might be moved a touch to the L - but that's very subjective.
