Description: Another look at North America’s largest butterfly. She was rarely still, which made composing a good shot very difficult.

She is a beauty, Terry. Glad she is posing for you, even if you have to keep up with her different positions. I am wondering if you were to crop just a little off the left, and bottom, if that would improve the composition some. Right now, to me, it seems like the BF is too close to the top and kind of centered, and maybe it won’t seem that way if it looses some from left and bottom. Just a thought. I love that BG, and how appears to be oof of the same flowers. The pinks and greens are nice for a BG, and how you caught the lighting through the wings.
Your butterflies are getting better all the time! You have lovely detail and color on this one and the flowers are nicely subdued. I assume you have these guys on retainer…
@Shirley_Freeman’s suggested crop is worth playing with, especially from the left.
