Cool,Barbara!
Monarchs are such handsome butterflies,aren't they?
Your well-presented photograph of this colorful specimen perched on a zinnia blossom looks wonderful,my friend!

Wonderful photograph oft the butterfly pollinating zinnias.

Great details, colors and the background is spectacular.
This is the nature in its finest and you captured the moment just right.
Good luck in the contest.

A beautiful butterfly and a great looking zinnia too. The colors are fantastic and the flower is very sharp as is the rear wing and body of the monarch.

A pretty nature shot with fine definition and clarity both of the butterfly and the flower it is perched on. The all natural tones are pleasant against the beautiful blurred background. Well done and best wishes for the contest!

Wow! This is a great shot!! I picked my image out for this contest last night and it's almost the same as this one! Nice focus, on your monarch and flower. The colours are bright and cheerful, makes me long for summer! Nicely blurred background and composition os balanced. All the best in the contest

On a beautiful summer day indeed!
Barbara, this is just gorgeous! It's a beautiful entry for this contest! I love the placement of the flower and the butterfly within the frame, the soft background pushes them forward allowing such a clear, undistracted view.
I see such good detail in both the flower and the butterfly .this is well photographed with spot on focus, this image is sharp and clear, exposure is perfect, colors and tones appear natural, well composed and presented! This is a pleasure to view! Best wishes to you in this contest!

Beautiful capture. the foreground is in focus defining the subject. The Butterfly is enjoying this beautiful pink and red Zinnia. The picture is well balanced and has nice contrast. Very nicely done. Good luck.
