Canon 5DS R, f 8, 1/320sec., iso 250. Used 180 Macro lens with Ctr. Wt. Avg. setting. Do not know the variety of flower but it sprouts up in the fall and seems to move about the yard from original planting.

Have no idea what the flower is but its bright red flowers surrounding the butterfly give the image good impact. No suggestions for improvement from me.
Thanks Shirley, I’ve since learned that this flower, “Hurricane Lily” is from Asia, transplanted to N.C. and now grows wild there. My neighbor has a yard full of them and many butterflies to boot.
John Wayne: Wonderful party crasher. My only suggestion would be to crop a bit from the top and right side. It cuts off the anthers a bit on the right but I think eliminating a bit of the BG makes this stronger. Top notch shot. >=))>
