Very nice capture. Nice detail in the face and I like the way the blurred back wing shows motion. Also nice details on the flower and stem.

Really like this, Howard. Makes me wish for spring so that I can give something like this a try. Beautifully done.

I echo Jerry. It makes me wish for spring. Very well done with wonderful fine details. Nice combo of the white butterfly, the orange butterfly, and the blue sky.
