colorful capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of the butterfly on the colorful flower is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. good eye and great job overall.

Superb shot of this beautiful majestic butterfly.

Expertly taken with crisp and precise focus and excellent depth of field.
Really stands out from the background.
Vibrant and bright colours really bring the image to life.
Thank you for sharing

Butterflies are very beautiful. You've done a wonderful job displaying this beauty. The colors of the butterfly blend beautifully with those of the flower. A delightful image.

FANTASTIC! What an amazing natural capture. The butterfly appears to be showing off her wings for you. The peach of the flower is stunning. The lighting is perfect to illuminate your subject. Great centering of the photo. Thank you for sharing.

Yes this is the Common Rose. Nice capture with the sun shining on the wings and illuminating the flower as well. Depth of field really brings out the main subject. Well done Emhcee ~ Steve

Mike,
A beautiful picture of the Scarlet Mormon Butterfly/ Papilo rumanzovia alighted on a pink/orange Hibiscus , the sunlight shining down on it's back to show off the beauty of it's wings. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
