    This is the male counterpart to Allen's shot posted yesterday.

    I repaired a few nicks and blemishes in the wings but left a few, just because I didn't want it to look too perfect. Cloned out some unsightly leaves and an extra stem in the LL and along the bottom.

    Hey Ken,
    Looks like you and Allen found a perfect specimen! Fantastic light and perch......and great comp w/ the bottom leaf inclusion! Another winner for sure!

    Beautiful shot Ken! You did nail this one. I was too enamored with the female Tiger to focus on this male...but you are showing what a truly marvelous specimen it was.

    Gorgeous shot Ken - the butterfly is tack sharp and the background is perfect. I suppose a tad more depth of field would have been nice to render a bit more detail in the yellow flowers, but that is just nit-picking! Well done.

    Very nice, Ken! I might add a tiny bit of room to the bottom where the leaf is almost touching the frame. Everything else is superb! Love the overall composition and angle here.

    Excellent shot! Beautifull BF and clean BG. The yellow flower ads to the image.

    Beautiful (make that perfect) specimen!! Great wingspread, and a nice fresh perch. I'd likely desaturate the yellow flowers a bit, and opt for more room below the leaf, but what a gorgeous image!
