Nice to catch one with perfect wings and on milkweed. Very pleasant color palette and nice detail.

Beautiful butterfly and the ideal perch for a Monarch - nice one.

With the soft light and the fresh Monarch, the orange “pops” beautifully against the soft greens and pinks.

The 'fresh' look of this specimen is special, and your composition matches it very well.
