It was windy so I shot with a larger ap to get a faster SS. I also tried some at ISO 400 but they didn't come out too well. Selective sharpening was done on the front petals but I took it as far as I could without making them look screwy. Image was rotated slightly CW.

wow Ken, this is gorgeous! Love the angle you caught the butterfly at. Superb details and color. Great background.

[David Stephens]

Great DOF and colors. I too like the low angle perspective.

[Paul Lagasi]

As with the first image...lovely colors, sharpness and crop...nice one especially in the wind

[Bob Miller]

Hey Ken,
super job on this with the DOF and the sharpness.....only recommendation....hair more room on bottom for coneflower petals (even for me!).....really nice job with this!

[Anita Bower]

Love it! Gorgeous! Beautiful detail, positioning, BG. Well done!

Beautiful image and spectacular colours. I don't want to do you an injustice, as I know the quality of light is sometimes different in America but to me the colours do look just a little intense - in view of the other comments I suspect it is I who is out of tune.
