I was just reading an article in Popular Photography about capturing butterflies in flight rather that static on a flower. Ironically, they recommended shooting with fast shutter speed to avoid blur, but that wouldn't work very well in the challenge I suppose. Regardless, the colors are well balanced, as is the exposure. And the motion in the wings does give it a dynamic sense. Well done.

the motion of the butterfly adds interest to the photo, a bit of realism to what the eye might see on take off.

I think it all must be blurry to meet the challenge. Sorry.
