My first submission with my new 24-105. I'm pretty sure it'll tank, but IMO the bokeh is the subject here. The butterfly is simply a decoration. =)
I'd like to say that this was a tribute to Jason's Lady in Green, but in truth I only realized afterward that this was the same type of butterfly (and same lens) as his:

The light in the pavilion is roughly equivalent to an overcast day, because the roof is basically white plastic. So there was a lot of ambient light. Being an advanced editing challenge, I also dodged the butterfly a bit to make it stand out, though not a lot was needed.
Since all my photo equipment was stolen and I am camera-less, I will spend time now voting...

A beautiful picture, but not quite sure whether the subject in itself fills the frame. If you are 'punished' for this by voters then dont despair as the shot itself is great
