another great close up, almost a true macro; appropriate framing with outstanding sharp focus and details; the blue flower looks like a painting;

Skippers aren't Monarchs, of course, but your excellent photo of this little creature coupled with the beautiful blossom makes it a winner. Very good composition, lighting, and background.

So pretty! I love the purple flower this golden butterfly has landed in. I see good detail in the butterfly and I like it's position in the scene.
Well focused, this image is clear, exposure is well managed, colors and tones are natural.
Nice soft blurred background works well to showcase this butterfly. Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in the contest!
