Hi Chris!
You deserve accolades for this wonderful capture of a Monarch. The POV is just perfect and everything else that makes a great picture is in place here. I love its colors and also the composition formed by the butterfly and the lantana flower.
Very well done and TFS.

Nicely done, Chris. All the technical stuff is solid - color, light, composition, and focus. Only minor nit is I wish there wasn't a bright spot behind the 'fly, but it's really not very distracting.

Excelente captura con nitidez, buen POV y DOF.
Me agrada el encuadre y la composición general, incluyendo un excelente fondo.
Sólo criticaría los colores algo saturados o sobre expuestos como se aprecia en las flores de lantana.
Saludos... Ricardo

Excellent capture with sharpness, good POV and DOF.
I like the framing and the general composition, including a excellent bottom.
Only I criticize the colors something saturated or over exposed as it is appreciated in the lantana flowers.
Greetings... Ricardo

Hi Chris,
Superb macro work, my friend! You're getting better by the day...
Butterfly is well framed and presented in a fine composition, silky-crisp textures and with fine colours!
