Pavon Emperor (f)

In the U.S, found only in Texas' Lower Rio Grande Valley, "where it is seen most years". We got this one in Mission at the National Butterfly Center; a day or two before we had a bedraggled specimen show up in our RV lot "yard" (for the 2nd year in a row!)  

5D IV
100-400 4.5-5.6 II
1/320, f/14, ISO 800
Eval -1.33
Hand held, natural light

Love this image! I like the way you included the flower and full leaf at the top. The BG compliments the butterfly well and the overall colors are great. Amazing light, being that it is natural light.
