Not easy getting one Butterfly in focus but YOU get one in flight and one on a leaf!.
That is Sassy! Grand Even! ;)
Fine Exposure, stop action, focus and fine Placement within the frame.
I would only suggest softening background left and middle more.
Nice work.. Good Luck ;)

Thank you so much Fred!

Comment from El-mundo
Absolutely fantastic shot of this beautiful butterfly in mid flight coming in to land on this already occupied plant, captured perfectly in the landing position - ready to give the current occupant a jump by the looks of it! great clarity and timing, and superb short DOF showing clearly the two butterflies and the plant against the blurred background of foliage. I'd love to see a "what happened next" picture of this! great photograph and a good contender for the competition, best of luck :)

A beautiful shot. It is tough to get them in flight and this could not be better. The detail in the flying butterfly is outstanding and the colors are fantastic. Best of luck in the contest.
