I've been trying for in flight butterfly shots lately. I took this one this morning.

It looks like the butterfly is jumping from one flower to another. Nice colors in this image.

Allen I bet you were please with this! It looks great, I have tried similar for several years now and not been successful. I like the proboscis and the wing positions, this would do well in competition I reckon.

Wow, that's a great shot. Likes look you had good focus on the butterfly and I like the flowers, background and composition. Thanks for sharing.

A striking image, Allen! It's hard enough just trying to get the butterfly sharp, but you also got a very pleasing wing position plus both flowers sharp! Excellent work!!
