    This is one of my "babies" from last summer, newly emerged and squeaky clean.

    I love the freshness of the newly emerged, and a lovely background. Perhaps a sliver more breathing room at the bottom?

    Amazing butterfly on a gorgeous perch with a lovely background. Very well done! Not sure if this is full frame, but if you have more room, I'd slightly rotate the image CCW for composition, at the same time creating a little more room below the butterfly like Ron suggests.

    A really high quality shot Jon. Everything about it is gorgeous - light, exposure, subject, focus etc etc. I would add some to the bottom though if it were mine.
