Nice image. It sharp and well exposed. Shallow DOF make an excellent BG. My only comment is regarding your POV. Animals looks better when looking in direction of the camera rather than away. However, there is a lot of good shot of butterfly looking away since there wings have plenty of nice details to show. Top view is also excellent for butterfly.
Good work and TFS.

Hello Harm,
great macro shot, great sharpness, details and clarity. Nice DOF and BG too! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent shot. Skippers are quite hard to approach. Getting that close is a masterpice of patience and fast reaction.
The diagonal leaf creates a very dynamic composition. For the small size of the butterfly, details are also quite good.
Doing some postwork by applying a sharpening filter would make this fine close up probably even a bit more impressive. Noticing some noise at the background already: I think that could be easily removed by selective noise reduction after applying further sharpening over the whole picture.
This a very good portrait of that species. Thank you, and best wishes!
Peter
