Good frame-filling image of this Monarc Vincent. Excellent detail, exposure and BG.
May be a tad extra space on the right side would enhance the composition; but very appealing as is!!!

[Gus Cobos]

Great capture and composition. Exposure is good. I like the colors of the butterfly and the soft pale background brings it all in very nicely...:D

[Robert O'Toole]

Agree with Johns critique and he extra space recommendation. Good job on the exposure and use of flash.

Very nice.

I'd like to see the bottom cropped off a bit. Otherwise, nice African monarch, Danaus chrysippus
