Terrific view at the newly emerged, pristine monarch, Lucy. I like the lighting on the flower and wing, the pretty floral perch, and the natural vignette. Superb butterfly image overall. I think it might even be better if you can pull any more detail out of the monarch's eye and head.

Interesting light Lucy, it serves to spot-light the flower & b-fly nicely.
Great looking newly emerged specimen, well done

Love the sharpness and detail on the butterfly and flower. I'm not so sure about the very dark vignette with this subject matter, but it does highlight the subject quite well.

How much fun to have watched these grow up. This is a great look with the spot lighting and colorful blooms.
