This butterfly was feeding all over my vitex one morning.  I was quick to grab my camera and was rewarded with some awesome photos!

This view shows excellent detail, Lucy, both in the flower and in the bf.  The bf's body looks overexposed here, but you may be able to pull that back in raw.

Pretty pale swallowtail Lucy, with nice complimentary flowers and BG. You might be able to reduce the bright spots a bit and get more detail in processing.
