Nice cropped close up Yun. Like the colour in the BG too. I,m still getting to grips with the 105mm.
Cheers

What a beautiful color palette, away from the usual greens. Nice pattern on the bf, and perfect dof. Very well done Yun..

"She" looks great with the coordinated colors of the echinacea, Yun.  I like the tight view with it's emphasis on the face and antennae.  It's also good that you included all four hindwing spots.

Excellent bfly and Echinacea cone. Detail is superb. I wish I had kept my 105 mm. An excellent lens. Mine had to go, as the 180mm purchase was predicated on selling the 105!cheeky

Excellent capture, Yun.  I agree with all the other comments.  Not much to add to that.
