Another fine image Jo. I like them both, the side view her gives the impression that this really is quite a large butterfly, the angle the butterfly adopted isn't quite perfect but you have excellent DOF and detail.

Hi Joseph,
Nice and sharp on the butterfly and the sky provides a nice backdrop. Perhaps a bit of a crop from the right to lessen the oof greenery. Nice image.
