This is a beautiful photo of this gorgeous butterfly. Great overall clarity and wonderfully blurred background really make the flowers and Monarch stand out. I personally would have cropped more off the top and left side, but still a great shot!

A grand nature photo posted here! Must be a serious entry into your competition!! Your nice traditional composition grants us a good look at your scene. Sharpness and exposure are both good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Linda Wetzel
Another beautiful combination. Lucky you to capture the widespread wings from such a skittish insect. The muted background allows the viewer to focus solely on the delicateness of the flowers and lovely Monarch.
