Lantana Scrub-Hairstreak

I'm a little out of my comfort zone here, but I liked the lines and sense of scale provided by the surrounding flowers; I'd love to hear honest feedback.

100-400 4.5-5.6 II
f/6.3, 1/2,000, ISO800
Eval -.67
Hand held, natural light

Comments and suggestions always appreciated

It's great to see the setting and the environment of the butterfly. Looking good...

+1 to those thoughts.  Fine image Craig.
Make your life spectacular!

This works for me-nice sense of proportion and context for the butterfly. I wish the oof blossom wasn't covering the stem right where the hairstreak is, but that's a minor detail. Some people here are good at stacking to avoid such things...but I'm not one of them, so I can't really make any suggestions. And perhaps not needed. :) I do like this very much.
