The large version is really nice, I find the orange and yellow color combination quite pleasing. I might of tried some shots using some smaller apertures to gain some DOF in an attempt to get some of the flower in focus. The butterfly though is very crisp and sharp.

Very nice, Charles. The orange BF and yellow flowers make a great combo. Nice job separating the flower and BF from the bg. Good detail in the bf as well.
