The butterfly is really cool, and I admire you were able to catch one with his wings open. He seems a bit far away from the flowers though to really make him feel connected, IMHO. The left side of the frame seems very empty except for the small blooms at the bottom, so I would suggest cropping off the left third. That would put more emphasis on the flowers in the center and the butterfly. Nice colors.

Butterflies certainly do seem to gravitate to coneflowers. Nice capture of one in flight, Andrey. I think Angela has some good points. I think a crop in from the left would work well as she suggests. An alternative would be to crop down from the top, cropping out the butterfly :frown: to make a pano comp of just the flowers. Looks like a glorious spot to spend some time with a camera on a nice sunny day. :smile:
