There are problems with compression artifacts in the BG because I had to use a relatively low quality setting to keep it under 200kb. Reds desaturated a lot and yellows a bit to keep the milkweed from glowing too much.
Ken, congrats. I have high respect for butterfly photographers. I think its one of the toughest things to do. working at small apertures....awkward shooting positions....trying to get the butterfly parallel to the sensor plane.....its all quite challenging. One beautiful image, this is.
