What a great entry for this contest. I lover the out of focus flowers in the background and the very fine detail in both the butterfly and the flowers. Best of luck in the voting.

This is such a colorful summery scene! I love the three flowers and their placement on the right diagonally coming in to frame , the flowers are well focused and clear to view, I like that two of them are pink and the top one is in the yellow with red tones, the butterfly is well captured and I like it's position on the flowers, I see good clear detail in the butterfly. The muted background in the purple and green tones works well to push this trio of flowers and the butterfly forward while allowing a sense of this garden location. Well composed and presented! Best wishes in this contest!

Very nice shot of the monarch on a blossom. Good focus on the butterfly to make its features very visible. Good color on the flower that highlights the Monarch. Good soft background to make the subject stand out. Well seen.

This is one of the best shots I have seen. So many are good on this site but this one photo seems special with all those colours. A very good entry for the composition. It has amazing impact for me.

Nature is a great artist and you have this piece of nature-art beautifully photographed. The sharpness of detail is impressive. The soft background emphasizes the Monarch and the Lantana Blossoms beautifully. The soft colors of the background indicate the environment and show that there are other blooming plants. How the Monarch hangs on the blossoms and the Lantana reaches diagonally into the frame is eye pleasing. The photo is well balanced.

What a perfect photo for the contest. It's a perfect entry. This is so beautifully bright. Not annoyingly so. The lovely colorful flowers being visited by an equally beautiful monarch. And this pic was tightly focused and detailed. Perfect lighting and crisp contrast.
