Interesting hibiscus haven't seen one like that before perhapst the angle you have used to take it for this excellent capture of the butterfly drinking. Sharp focus with good dof.

many thanks Mary; not only the angle; a different hibiscus species, with the flowers looking downwards

Comment from Mara del Mar
Great capture of the butterfly in the flowers. Good lighting, excellent composition, color, and sharp focus. I like the DOF and the nice background, like great angle and nice frame. Well done.

This is a very nice composition! I love the different variety of hibiscus.

I think the sharpening was pushed a bit far. However, the background is sheer perfection!

I can't imagine how you captured this amazing photo. The beautiful points of color on the butterfly - the delicate area of the flower dangling down and the beautiful color of the flowers - all perfectly balanced with the darks and greens of the background. Visually stunning.

Both the colour and the clarity of this photo is spot on. What a wonderful butterfly, they are so hard to capture as they tend to fly off very quickly when you get near them.

Background blurred perfectly as well

love it,thanks for sharing

Some good colour in this very bright, nice balanced complete image. The background works very well against the reds of the flower and butterfly. Good focus and DOF.
