Butterfly on Amaryllis

Detroit Zoo

I had been using the macro lens to photograph butterflies, but just as
I switched to the 70-200 lens I spotted this butterfly on a beautiful
amaryllis flower, so took a few snaps of it and quite like it, even if the
butterfly is not as sharp as it would have been had I used the macro lens....

This turned out beautifully... the Amaryllis is a wonderful background to the deep orange and black of the butterfly.
