gorgeous colours contrasting so well together from the oranges and blacks outline of the butterfly to the delicious purples of the flowers that one can almost capture the sweet scent of within the picture. A nicely diffused backdrop allows the enhancement of the subject well

Nice in focus shot. I like the blurred background just giving a hint of more phlox. You have composed or cropped the shot just right. Very colorful with the colors complimenting each other. Well done and a good entry.

Such a beautiful Capture of the Monarch Butterfly with it's wings spread on the phlox flower. Your framing is good and photo is well composed. Your focus is spot on and on every part of the butterfly, with good lighting, and revealing excellent details. Your choice of aperture blurring background complimenting your overall photography. Good camera techniques and nice stop action shot. This is a gorgeous shot of the Monarch Butterfly! I love this one! Worthy of a six star!

Nice shot.
The Phlox frames the monarch quite well.
The wings look like they're glowing with a lovely orange and yellow.
It's nice that you captured it with its wings fully spread.
You can see all the lovely details.
The soft focus green and purple Phlox beyond make for a nice background and finish for the image.
Well done.

Excellent capture of the butterfly

the pink bright spot above the butterfly is a bit distraction, but I do not think I should reduce the rate because of it

thanks for sharing

Barbara,
A beautiful picture of this Monarch butterfly alighted on the mauve Phlox flowers sucking nectar it's wings open so we can admire & see the beauty of the patterns on it's wings. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Impressive capture!
Fantabulous color harmony.

An interesting initial impact.
Aptly captured for the contest theme...

Pin sharp focusing.
Subdued lighting.
Aesthetic framing.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Best of luck in the contest!
Impressive entry. Potential voters choice...

Thanks for sharing...
