I like the composition and details on the wings. Nice flower. looks like some kind of thistle. colors look great. dof is adequate. good details in the shadows on the flower. I like this image a lot.

Thanks Ravi, the flower does indeed resemble thistle but it is knapweed, also known as Black knapweed or Hardheads.

Kind of looks like the sulphurs we have over here. Like the image overall. Nice composition and the detail is there.
