They have some amazing butterflies and birds at Butterfly World. Lucky to be in South Florida for this challenge. In camera, used portrait look with a bump up in contrast and saturation. Of course, no post processing except sharpen and resize. If I could have, would have cropped a bit off the left. Scientific name...Heliconius Melpomene Cythera.

Very nice colors and focus. I like how the flowers seem to be "leaning" towards the butterfly. It helps to give the shot some motion and dynamics. The shallow dof really helps the butterfly to stand out, and the detail present is very nice as well.
I agree that cropping on the left would help this image tremendously. Obviously, that wasn't allowed for *this* challenge, but anyother time I think it would really help.
You did well in the challenge. Good work and great capture.
