A beauty Jonathan even with the reflected flash on the dew. What an attractive butterfly.

Hi Jon. This is a very nice specimen captured with excellent sharpness throughout and the diagonal comp is a plus. Like you, I have mixed feelings about the flash because of all the specular highlights. Did you try any shots without flash for comparison? I might suggest cloning some of the dew drops that have turned totally white - such as those below the left hind wing. In an ideal world - and if you had several more arms - this might have been a case where holding a diffusion screen to filter the ambient light could have significantly softened the overall lighting. Not easy to do when using a monopod though.
