Good capture. I love the sharpness of detail in both the flower and the top butterfly. I like your composition and the bokeh that you've achieved in the background with processing. I may have tried a slightly lower ISO, but otherwise great shot.

How nice to get two of these on a single perfect purple cone flower, Barb.  It's also good that you've got the body of the back bf nicely sharp.  The colors throughout the image coordinate well.

Barb, Great to have two beautiful Zebra Longwings on a single cone flower, one provides the dorsal view and the other, the ventral view. The flower is very nice too. I might try adjusting a bit the level to add some contrast. Fine as posted too. Congrats !
