That is a fantastic shot. I have tried focus stacking a few times, never successful, I will add.
This one of my most successful butterfly shots of this year. Sometimes I get lucky and one of these little buggers will land in just the right spot where the lighting is just right. I was able to set my flash and diffuser to just the right settings as well. Normally they just fly off when I try to that or someone spooks them away.
K-1 and the Sigma 180 3.5 Macro with the AF540 FGZII Flash with a Gary Fong diffuser. The flash was angled up to bounce the light off the leaves that were just above the butterfly.

Thank you, I only get to see them when the local botanical gardens has their annual butterfly exhibit. Even then seeing one is not guaranteed. This is first one I have seen in about four years and I go every year multiple times.

Nice, every so often I manage to see a swallow tail around here. It is becoming less often.
