Very good close up of this beautiful butterfly feasting on the orange flower. The softened background foliage really makes it pop.

Lighting and focus very good showing great detail. Very nice composition. Suzanne

Very nice photo. I like the close detail of the Swallowtail and of the flower he is drinking from. The faded background is also nice as it makes the butterfly and flower stand out. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely photo of a Swallowtail butterfly and a lovely blossom. Nicely blurred background. I hope the butterfly makes it to its destination.

Thanks Nancy for the review. I am sure the Swallowtail is feasting on some fine orange blossom nectar in Florida by now.
