Fairly common butterfly, but I liked the way it was posing with the plain BG.

Canon T1i, 1/800 @ F-8 AV, ISO 200
tamron 28-300mm @ 300mm.

I really like the angle of the flower, nicely balanced with great detail John

Nice job here John. The flower and the BF look nice and sharp but both seem to lack color to me, especially the BF. I agree with you on the background, it's wonderful.

Nice composition with slanting flower and colorful BF. Sweet BG. Well done.

Lovely BG, neat composition. Might brighten up the butterfly + increase some contrast to make it pop. Lovely BG.
