Fine image, the butterfly and the flower look great - one of my favorite butterflies. And on a garden flower - I've only found them in the wild.

Tracy, Love how the body of the b'fly is wrapping along the circumference of the coneflower center. Very sharp, colorful on an excellent background.

I really like the orange antenae tips, legs and underbody! Everything else, of course, is outstanding!

Wonderful shot. The flash is perfect and you nailed the DOF and plane of focus for this beautiful scene. Thanks for sharing.
