Hi Mike. This is a nice specimen and it's giving you a great pose! Also nice comp and good use of the flash. You might try some nr on the background to smooth it out more. This is well done!

Hi Mke... beautiful capture... great detail and comp... lovely bg... agree with Steve on NR... otherwise so VWD:w3

I agree with the suggestions already posted... but really like the simple lines of the composition and the color of the flower with the butterfly... The butterfly has such a good pose... very nice.
