Nature Butterfly.

I took this picture at the Montreal Insectarium. Taken inside without a flash. I just cropped a little and boosted colors with some sharpening. This picture was taken fast because the butterflys don't stay put for long. Could I have done better? Opinions welcomed. Thanks.

It's a lovely butterlfy Mike, well captured, as it's a spure of the moment shot there wasn't a lot you could do about composition. I like the delicate way the insect is held, a shame we couldn't see more of the wings. Very difficult things to capture right, done well though.
