Wonderful portrait of this butterfly!
I really like how you positioned it between the flower on which it rests perfectly in focus
and the blurry flower in the background which balances the chromatic and compositional ensemble well.
Great shot!

Mary said it so well-I agree. Beautifully done. You have a very nice series from this Butterfly festival.

The low foreground subject and the background flower play well together- lovely.
