Gary: Fantastic light and color. I wish the FG lantana was sharper but your plane of focus management on the butterfly and the perch is spot on. Beautiful shot.>=))>

Man, the lighting and background really helped you on this one, Gary. Beautiful comp and subject.
The brightness of that OOF FG flower is kind of distracting. I wonder if toning down those bright colors would help me concentrate on the BF.
