Very nice capture Heather, the pose of the butterfly really stands out nicely. Also this positioning goes great with the story about their feet. Very nice composition.

Great photo, Heather. I love how the line of the stem makes a triangle in the photo, and great detail and focus on the flower and butterfly.
