great title huh? still learning the new canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens. I will do better in time. "rahto" gave me some good tips on Butterfly macros I will use in the future.

Not a Titmouse, but not far from that quality. Really good pic.
I'd give you a 10 also but then you'd have nothing to shoot for, so here's a 9. I bet tomorrow you make me give you a 10. Then I'll have to start a Butterfly Folder.
Just kidding, I've already started one.

You could have called it the Backlit Butterfly. The wings look translucent. I don't see what is wrong with this shot. Rahto is the one to ask though, you are right.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

I think it's outstanding. There's a sort of serenity about it, probably because of the backlighting.

I already have a butterfly folder, and this is going into it!

Wow this is a great shot! I really like how the light illuminates the wings! It looks to me like you have your macro lens down pat, but I agree with Cindy, it certainly can't hurt getting advice from Rahto. Diane

Gorgeous butterfly Gregg! The illumination of the wings is awesome, I find the whole image enchanting. You seem to be doing fine in the macro department, but tips are always useful. Well done!

Great DOF, color and clarity. Checking the dictionary and thesaurus, you could title this 'diurnal insect of the Order Lepidoptera on member of the kingdom Plantae'.

Wow, this is beautiful. I like, how the light shines through the wings. I can even see the plant through the wings. Good job done.

Looks to me like you pretty much got a grip on it already. Don't think I have seen a butterfly like that one before. Pretty.

learning a new lens is NO EXCUSE for shoddy titling

this is quite clearly supposed to be named "Black on Green"
