Fine capture of a Gulf Fritillary...Magnificent detail of the butterfly and the out-of-focus flower emphasizes the sharpness of the image...The colors of the wings are surrealistic, almost as if painted on...Very well done...TFS

I think this looks about perfect. With the lighting and background it could almost be studio posed. With ISO-800, I'm surprised there isn't more background noise. I have backed off to ISO-640 because of noise. Well done. Reid

Hi Ken.
What a colourful. outstandingly composed shot with great subject you have created. Bravo. It is true masterpiece from next you. Amazing colour palette and passages from light to dark, great spot lighting and superb sharpness of the terrific butterfly and blurriness of the charming flower. My congratulations and best wishes.

Hi Ken,
Fantastic shot of this beautiful Fritillary sitting on this majestic sunflower. Such rich and vivid colours and very sharp details with a spot-on focus. Rightly said, the lighting seems like is a spotlight and it presents a tremendous effect. The smooth BG highlights the subjects well and you have captured it with an excellent POV. Very nicely composed. Kudos.
TFS.
