Not only can we clearly see this monarch but we can hear the soft flutter of wings...he's that close to us. You have a very tight crop and with that crop we viewers are pulled in immediately to the image. You have some detail lost in the black , called "black clipping" or "block up", were you shooting on A or Manual mode? This was not an easy image to get right for you have a sunny day and some details lost on the red petals of flowers. Focus is good with his proboscis clearly seen and his beautiful wings have been delightfully caught by you. The colour is natural and fresh.

What an absolutely sweet shot. Nicely comoposed on the frame, sharp as a tack and the colour palette is natural. I would not mind a tighter crop at our left as that leaf seems to be stealing some attention away from the butterfly saying "look at me, look at me" and we do. A strong line like that on the frame also takes our eyes and leads us out of the photo. The anchor, that butterfly, however, is sharp and beautifully patterned which you caught and I know they are not easy to photograph. I think this is a well taken image.

Hmmmm, yes, there is less leaf and more butterfly. I still like it, don't you?

Still is an OK place to be isn't it?

Yes, I know, it is good.
