Yes, it appears we're stills struggling to recover around here!
Ken, this is lovely! Nice turn / angle to the butterfly and the yellow/purple combo is very nice. I find my eye getting pulled to the two upper corners where the partial petals are - if this were mine I think I'd take those two buds out and let the green carry the corners so your eye stays down at the butterfly.
Very nice details and lucky you for getting a butterfly that is in such pristine shape!
Ken,
You need to start marketing some of your images. Most excellent photo. Like the angle on this guy and the lovely floral background. Agree with Jules. This is a nice specimen.
Thanks for sharing...

and such great details! love the hairs, and the feather details. you want to reach out and touch it, cause you can just *feel* that softness in the wings....
very nice!
Great details Ken, and a wonderful butterfly. My only critique is that the flash is a bit too prominent, but just a little. It makes the flower perch very bright and also produces a quite strong shadow IMO. I'm just always a big fan of natural light.
Ken,
Sounds like the only way you got the shot was with the flash.
I like to use a tripod and angle the flash HH using a sync cord.
Hope this helps...

Nice details, I like the framing and colors! Very well done in windy weather!
I completely agree with Jules. Lovely image!
