This is a very colourful shot Jim, and at 573 kb size it should be as sharp as
you would ever want.
But I wonder what processing you did on it; there seems to be something
akin to posterisation or pixelation in the general area above the butterfly.
I do envy you the procession of wonderful birds and insects you have
coming through your garden during the course of a year. We have nothing
at all like that variety of species.
