Another super shot, as beautiful as the previous one, indeed perhaps a little more, the flower is a real extra note of merit.
I love too much the games of small areas in focus and out of focus of the leaves and the flower.
Incredibly homogeneous background that brings out the whole butterfly in perfect focus. Great!

Thank you, Mary! Not just for the compliments, but for the specifics; I grew a lot from responding to constructive critique here, but now people tend to want to throw a quick “good shot” out there and move on. Please keep it up!

Good light,

Lovely capture! Love the shallow depth of field. Feels like a well-balanced image.

Looks great from the side, excellent composition with this perch and setting. I agree with Mary about the background OOF elements - lovely.

A great shot, subject never seen before... have you tried to shoot the 90° photo clockwise?

Ugh; looking back at this a few weeks later, and now I get what you meant (I’m kinda’ dense sometimes). That thought had never crossed my mind, but now I’m perplexed as how to present this!

Good light,
