300mm 2.8 with three extension tubes. At approx. 5 feet, somewhat sidelight, hand held. Shot to have little dof behind the skipper and flowers. A dust spot is somewhat obvious and normally would be removed, but it couldn't and meet rules.

If only I liked butterflies - I would probably like this photo. But the butterfly lacks in beauty and the flowers are rather ho-hum. The picture itself has good composition - the models need help.
Nice image, definite bokeh. The moth is a little out of focus, which will probably hurt your score. If the moth were tack sharp, you would have had a "great" picture here, as opposed to a "good" one.
wow, such nice coloring and composition, wish there were more focus on the wings but I suppose that would have been hard to do while keeping the background as oof as it is, lovely photo overall, 7
Perfect example for bokeh. Love the orange with the green and pink with that hint of black for POW. The composition is perfect. If this were advanced editing, I might suggest a slight sharpen on the head of the bug. OR maybe I need another cup of coffee. :~D Still, a great image. 9
