    Hey Ken,
    Didn't even take a day!!! I do like this one more.....not only the pose but the flower is a bit nicer IMO too! I think the pose...BG....sharpness...all right on. Oh....as for that BG....while I think the more uniform green will work too....I like the tones......makes it look more natural. Great job here!

    Hi Ken, what a wonderful species! Excellent colors and details on this one. I'm not too fond of the tilted pose of the butterfly, although it's nice to see both inside and out. Did you open up the shadows a lot on this one? The light on the flower seems a bit unnatural. I think that if the stem was a bit darker, the perch wouldn't compete as much with the butterfly. Nice work!

    The colors and composition are a delight to see! The position of the BF is wonderful...showing the top and bottom of the wings. This is one BF that I see on almost every trip to the field from now to the late fall.
