Beautiful! Love the colors. What type of butterfly is that? Not sure I've ever noticed one like that. It's very pretty.

Thank you Walter and Harriet.

The butterfly is a Gulf Fritillary

Very nice depth of field work. Wonderful sharpness on the subject and buttery bokeh behind. Will you share the lens and setting you used?

EXIF is attached (Pentax K-5,1/125", f/8, iso 400). Lens was the Sigma 70-300mm DG APO @ 300mm (=450mm equiv.).

Thanks Bill for the kind words.
