This was taken on 9/25/10. My second time out looking for BF's. It has some soft area's, but I kind of like the over all picture.
Is this to dark? To soft? etc. All your insights and help is greatly appreciated. Not sure of the name of this butterfly?

Ron:
Lovely. The exposure, color and hue look just about right. There is some variation in the focus with the tail nicely sharp and the head slightly soft - most likely this is due to sensor plane been not quite parallel with critter. BG is sweet.

I like the colors in the image, but the eye and head of the butterfly looks a little soft.
