Love the details of the thistles and the painterly bg. The butterfly seems energetic too.

So nice to see this beauty-the thistle flower adds a lot for a very charming capture.

Thistles make such an attractive setting and it works really well for this butterfly.

Nice job keeping it sharp - these guys are really rapid wing flutterers.

This is a nice summer image. Lovely subject on an equally lovely perch. I love such warm shades.
