A beauty here Jerry, very nice looking specimen and the Pye Weed makes a great backdrop. The square crop works nicely with the subject. Good job handholding that setup as well.

Technically most perfect, Jerry. You aligned the sensor plane very parallel to the wing plane of the b'fly. Diagonal placement makes it pretty dynamic as well.

Beautiful, Jerry - a fine compact composition, and the butterfly looks great. Joe Pye Weed makes a fine wildflower perch.

Hi

A stunning subject and a fine shot - the perch adds good colour and form

Thanks for sharing
