Not sure if this is small enough for the Challenge, but the butterfly does seem dwarfed by the rudbeckia in full bloom late last summer.

Beautiful focus and detail, Ian, and "small enough" is in the eye of the beholder, so I think you're fine

I do like this butterfly more than the brown one, but it is not their fault to be born brown or blue - purely a human fault to prefer one color over another

I think the flower is too big, Ian.

But the butterfly fits nicely and looks great.

It may be small compared to the flower but it certainly stands out because of it's unique color. Nicely composed and excellent detail also, Ian!

Hi Ian,

The perspective of your photo reveals how tiny that lycaenid is to the viewer, The composition and colors work well and the image is interesting to the eye......................Jim
