I made my first visit to the International Water Lilly Collection here in San Angelo This morning. It's only taken me a year and a half to go there. The lilies were still mostly closed due to the early morning hour, but the butterflies were very active. This guy was kind enough to pose for a moment.

Hi Billy.
Your butterfly is simply beauty and picture at whole is amazing too. I like pictured scene so much: fine butterfly on the nice little flower and wonderful smooth BG are looked perfectly. I also like hold vertical cropping and composition. It is so impressive. Well job and my warm wishes.
Alexei.

tout en finesse et délicatesse. sujet trčs net qui ressort bien du reste. bravo et merci.

Hi Billy,
This is a very nice composition with the simplicity of the butterfly, flower, and pleasing blurred BG. The colors and focus detail of the butterfly are great. I wouldn't mind the foreground flower to be all focused but that's a bit of a nit pick. Overall very well done.

Very nice Monarch capture. Excellent soft green background. I like butterfly photography a lot, particularly when it is well done.
