Chris, I see that its proboscis is coiled, indicating that this beautiful macro was taken just before landing or before take-off.
I join me in Jeff's comments about the colors and details.

The sun skimming the wing highlights the subtle folds, perfect focus, the curving stem and similar colors of the background, this is a fav for me.

Finally we are seeing more of these, and this is wonderful example of the Monarch set in gorgeous surroundings. Well done.

For a 2010 capture, Chris, this is incredibly crystalline sharp; the lines of scales in the wing colors is entirely evident. Now this particular monarch is a male, the white spots are scent glands that help males attract female mates, who have thicker wing veins than males. An immediate S&F from me.
