Awesomw shot. The butterflies are so gorgeous that the slightly distracting background isn't noticed.
Very nice work.

Gorgeous. Two perfect specimens -- I've never seen one of these so red as the one on the right.

Excellent capture of this pair. Great job getting parallel with them, nice flash use, too. The background is fine.

Very, very nice! I don't find the background busy at all. I prefer to have some sense of the habitat in the image. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, some may not like the background, but the beauty of these little guys simply overpowers anything that might be negative in that background.
In other words, ............................. a stunning beauty for these eyes. Love it!!
