Albert, there were a bunch of Painted Ladies in Maryland in early Sept., seems like it's being a good year for them. This lady looks good between the two flower bracts. I am thinking that moving the bf and flowers a bit left in the frame would improve the balance.

Fine image of the painted lady ..to be honest the whites do not distract here. Nice one

Great post Albert. I like the recrop better. Cropping the back flower out helps maintain focus on the butterfly and provides better balance. Nice focus and exposure. keep up the good work

I agree with Ry’s comment. Two beautiful images that the eye can linger on!
