@Shuva Brata Deb: I agree about the focus, however that silly butterfly refused to stay still so I took what I could get. I just liked this one so much because you can see his tiny little straw, so I shared it. Also, the underside of a butterflies wings are often overlooked and you could see them there. Thanks for the comments, all.
I like the picture very well ! Just an idea. The light and the focus emphasize the flower. To me the subject is the flower, not the butterfly which only adds an element and emphasizes the flower. So you might focus the attention of the people who whatch the photo on what represents its main subject (only according to me) by cropping the picture and place the flower on the right top or bottom (respecting the rule of the thirds) of the picture.
Nevertheless, you made a very good picture, it is very difficult to focus on macros. I often use the multishots mode (rafale in french...) in these cases, and mostly miss my shots ;). You had a very good light and colours. I like it !
