    Very nice. Needed the close crop to minimise the distract of the flowers.

    I like the way that the arc of flowers frames the butterfly and adds just the right nice splash of colour.

    Not necessarily. I usually like to include some background to provide context, usually habitat or food (nectar) plant.

    A beautiful butterfly Jim. I like the shot , the BG is a bit busy but the butterfly is so beautiful that it dominates the scene
