I managed to capture this beautifully deep yellow butterfly (found out the name of this species is called Phoebis Philea or Orange Barred Sulphur because it has beautiful orange spots on the inside of the wing which you cannot see here). I had originally envisioned the shot with a purple Gerber Daisy, but they do not come in purple and the spray paint on a white one was not as good as what I envisioned.
So I went with my second choice of flower: a purple orchid.
An hour and 15 minutes later I had 30 shots and this is the best of them.

Nice close up. The lighting seems a bit off - I'd like the colors to be more vibrant. Possibly a looser crop with more black area would have worked a bit better.
