On Tithonia

Last year I shot a lot of butterflies on thistle - to the point it became almost tedious.  Evidently, this year the star attraction is the Tithonia.  
Comments and suggestions always welcome.

Lovely image of the Monarch, Tithonia is a colorful perch.

Another beauty! gorgeous colors including the butterfly, flower and the background. Both flower and butterfly are sharp. Composition works great.

I like your angle of view-the colors are indeed very vibrant and pleasing. Nice sharp Monarch.
