Nice capture. The clarity is great. The angle of the shot of this butterfly on the flower is great. The capture of the light is great. The presentation is balance and eye appealing to the viewer. Good eye and great job overall.

This photograph is well composed, well lit and everything is in complete focus - well done. I would probably have taken it in portrait mode though to show a bit more of the plant and less background round the subject.
Good luck with it

This is beautiful, especially that colorful butterfly. Black and yellow and black and white butterflies are always among the prettiest, I think. The background and unique layered flower are so nice too. Best wishes.

Sharp, crisp and well cropped. The detailed macro scene is rich with color and beauty. The thistle is a favorite of the butterflies and I have caught one or two monarchs on my thistle. The soft background is the perfect canvas for showing off this beauty.
