Lovely comp. Well done for capturing a swallowtail: they are always on the move and difficult to compose. Pleasing BG.

Janet, I can appreciate the difficulty of the capture as butterflies don't just model for you. And it may be the for web compression that is affecting image sharpness, but the upper part of the foreground wing looks a bit soft. Love the bg!
