Hi Adrian,
Beautiful species that can be very hard to catch. I like the details in the body of the butterfly. I'm not too keen as the ground as a BG but I realize these guys rarely land exactly where you want them to.

Wonderfully sharp all points - well done. The colours are perfect they often have a habit of resting on a non ideal background but the subject is superb. Looking at the background I think I would either apply a little NR or remove any sharpening that may have been applied.
