Fine result from a grab shot, Jenn, and as Annette and Matt have said, the motion blur adds that different touch to the usual.

When I take butterfly images I try to get as sharp a shot as possible and in this image you show there is a beautiful result to be had with movement in the subject. this is an impressive image. - gary

Jenni: you have captured a rather stunning macro photograph depicting this rather gorgeous Butterfly feeding on this delightful Buddleia, stunning natural colour and exquisite detail running throughout.

This is so natural, I can almost feel the breeze of his wings.

How refreshing to see some motion in a butterfly shot, Jennn. Well done to you for achieving this effect. It adds life to what otherwise would be a static image... nicely grabbed.
