Beautiful Capture and PERFECT entry for this contest.
You have Captured a Holly Blue Upperwing Butterfly. One I have never seen and will for sure ask our butterfly garden if this one exists there in Oct.
Great luck to have both the butter and beetle on the flowers.
Focus, white balance, true natural colors and DOF are all spot on here.
Great Capture..Good Luck!!

This is a lovely capture of nature together. Clear and sharp photo. Lovely shallow depth of field in this photo that still shows the yellow's and greens in the background. There is something about the use of odd's (3,5,7,etc) that captures our attention also. Well done.

What a beautiful photo. This was great timing. The focus is spot on. You must have a ton of patience. I love how the blue pops in with the yellow. Great Job!

"What is there in a name, would a rose by any other name not smell as sweet." - I'm not sure I got the quote right, but I think you know what I mean.

Excellent camera work with this take.

The color contrast are eye catching for sure.

Very well focused foreground with a very gentle background bokeh.

The right place at the right time with a camera in hand ='s a great take ... B-)) Bob

Both the insects and the flower blossoms are pleasantly 'beautiful' in my opinion,my friend,and so is your attractively colorful picture of them!
'Good Show'!

Very good entry for the contest. Excellent capture of the pretty Butterfly and the little Bumble Bee working on the yellow flowers. The softened background works well. Very good lighting and focus showing great clarity. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne
