    Beautiful image.

    I do wish to see a bit more of the flower but still I really this one as it is.

    Allen, ideal choice of equipment for this type of shot, usually we find that restricted DOF does not bode well in macro but in this case I think it suites the subject well, emphasizing the action. In this case I do not think we would expect to see all elements in focus but we do see the all important eye nicely delineated. Lovely butterfly well shown, I like the flowereand the unobtrusive background.

    Allen, you're getting pretty good at these flight shots! Nice light, vibrant colors, a clean background, and excellent sharpness where you most need it. A little more DOF would have made this strong image even better - IMO. From your shooting specs, it looks like you had some wiggle room to up the ISO (say to 800) and lower shutter speed a click or two to thereby increase your f/stop. Nevertheless, this is a striking image as presented.
