It's nice but don't hesitate to get in closer with that 100 2.8.

The picture seems to be quite busy. Everything to the right of your subject is just a jumble.

I think you need to better isolate your subject through framing.

erh it was shot at 248 mm, but have to admit with my old slow tamron i need to keep distance to focus.

i am not sure iof the butterflys would still be there if i come swinging with a 100 mm a few cm's of their heads, but i will try it next time.

I second the suggestion to get in closer, or even just crop after the fact. I get a really nice feel for the action of the butterflies here, might be interesting to really go in tight and see how it looks...
