Superb closeup and pretty impressive detail even in the large version.
Pleasing BG and the flower is attractive.
Wish you had a bit more at the bottom.
I would darken the stem of the flower at the bottom to match the shadow.

Wow, another great shot of a butterfly in flight, Allen. You are challenging me for when the butterflies show up here in NC.

Another fine butterfly and flower image, Allen. I think a slight crop from the bottom to eliminate the bright part of the flower stem would improve the image.

I love shooting butterflies in flight myself, it’s great fun! This is a very good shot, great detail in the butterfly!
