This is a great photo (and one that I would like to have made--as can be descerned from a perusal of my Nature Gallery!)
May I make a "Critical" suggestion? I would crop it so that the bottom right corner of the image was in the pink petals of the flower. I don't think the stem is important, and it would make the butterfly a much bigger part of the image--and that's what is important!

Cheers, and keep making exposures.

Tim
You've seen it 4 times already, so all I can do is echo what
the others have written.
This is a truly marvelous photograph.

I agree too with Philip. I'd like to see it cropped off the bottom,
showing just the start of the petals.
This would, as stated, make the butterfly that much larger.

Top shot Tim. Bouquets and accolades.
