Fantastic! Beautiful composition. I love the angle you chose and the contrast between the blutterfly's darkness and the flower whiteness.

This looks like our golden skipper. Wonderful capture considering how these butterflies "skip" all over the place, rarely staying still. Super detail.

You made this butterfly looks cute with the timing you captured his wings a bit folded. Nice capture Sheila.. :)
