    Hand held Canon 1DX Canon 180mm macro Auto ISO 4000 + 0.67, 1/400 sec, f11, rotated and cropped for presentation.
    From a compositional point of view I agree not the best by any means but I just had to share this one, it is one of the trickiest to get because they spend most of their time high up in oak trees, it is a lifer for me.

    Very nice IQ for 4000 ISO! Good detail within your DOF and I like the curve of the leaf on which the butterfly is resting. Cropping an inch or so off the left may improve the comp.
