Monopod Canon 7D Canon 180mm macro ISO 640 fill in flash - 1.3 1/160 f8
A pretty common butterfly over here, in fact there is very little else! I have attempted to portray it in it's environment, hence I left the odd stalk in here and there.
All C&C welcome.

Great sharpness and detail on the butterfly and soft DOF on the BG. And the colors of the butterfly are so well complemented by the flower.

I love the OOF details on the right but am torn by wanting to see a little more on the left, to move the flower a little more away from the edge.

Hi Jon, you certainly have captured the finer detail on the wings and face, and love the colour of the wing too. I like how we can see how the butterfly is holding onto the stalk perch. Sweet BG.

Hi Jon. Excellent sharpness on the butterfly and the background, while OOF, gives a good feel for the habitat. Very nice use of fill flash as I can't tell that it was used at all! Very well done!
