A bit more DOF would have given nice and sharp wings...

Nice catch - wish the butterfly was´t in the center - I know it´s difficult in minimal editing

One of the better butterfly shots- great colors, nice and clear, and an angle that really compliments the little guy

Terrific dof. I like the gray/blue bokeh as well. In a perfect scenario, the leaf in the foreground wouldn't have had that blur, but what an ya do? Good luck.
