 I had never seen butterflies bathing. The one in the bottom actually flipped completely under water not long after my shot. I thought it was quite out of the ordinary!

That's a really nice photo, and I think it would have done well in the free study. But I have seen butterflies doing that hundreds of times, so I don't find it out of the ordinary.
