Well I don't use Lightroom so I had to make do with a layer mask in Photoshop, and I upped the contrast a bit with a curves adjustment to that mask. The mask isn't perfect just a quick and dirty but I like the results, so I'll probably work on it a bit.

Very nice, and a Vivitar Series 1 on a K-5II!
The composition is imposing with the butterfly bush being such a strong element.
I can't decide if I like the right side, wispy plant or not.
With the bright background, yoou could brighten up the Monark a stop
or so in lightroom.

Another inch of snow last night, I'm officially tired of winter.  So here's
a shot from last Fall's Monarch migration.  I missed focus by a bit, not
that big a bit but.  There was one in this sequence with the butterfly in
perfect focus, and in a slightly better pose, but also partially hidden by
the plant, there was a bit of wind blowing the subject around that day IIRC.
