Thanks for the review.

Comment from momentsofjoy7351
Very nice composition.
Detail is quite good.

I think I would have saturated the color a bit to give the bokeh just a little push in color as long as it did not interfere with the swallowtail. Hard to say without being able to do it. I would have 5.5 starred it with richer bokeh. Thanks for sharing

A really good view on your swallowtail. Very good focus, good frame and exposure to show the pretty one on a colorful flower. Good job.

A very well composed shot with excellent cropping. I like the field of flowers in the background and the fine focus on the butterfly and his light lunch.

I think this is a wonderful photograph. You have captured and placed your subject well in the frame. Timing is perfect and there is a sense of story. You have used a shallow depth of field and blurred out the background of distractions.
