What can I tell you that you haven't already been told. The backlighting through the wings is awesome. The details are so clear the framing perfect. Just a great picture.

This is a very nice capture of a butterfly. I like how the back lighting illuminates the butterfly's wings. The scene is colorful. you have decent focus. It is an interesting shot to view.

Oh, this shot makes me long for spring again! I miss the warmth and lazy atmosphere.
Wonderful, detailed capture! Love the shadows caught in the wings..How the sun is shining directly on the opposite wing..
Lovely texture of the lines in the wing..And markings..They are so delectate..What a wonderful capture!
The bloom is unique too..And goes well with the delicate creature..
Nice blurry darkened background. Crop is good..Giving us a generous viewing..
A wonderful shot! Thanks for sharing!!

Fantastic image of a butterfly for the reasons you say in your notes. The way the light is filtering through the wings is magical, showing up the body shape. Colours are beautiful and I like the flower the butterfly is feeding on. From the detail in the flower centre, this looks like a Zinnia. Beautifully framed with very good focus and nicely blurred background. Well done.
