Thanks, Ann. I like the second better, but I like some things about each image, so I posted both.
The blurry beast in the background is a large bee. I also can not decide if it adds or detracts from the image. At first, I was going to crop or clone it out, but then I felt if give a feeling for the activity on the bush, and I kept it in -- for the time being. Perhaps others will express positive or negative opinions about it. Th plant the butterfly is landing on is a large Butterfly bush; the l;argest of three I have inside and just outside our pool patio.
