Very pleasant frontal view of the butterfly. I have never seen anything like this before (- well, I first joined the focus stacking community a few months ago).
I completely agree with making the wings somewhat unsharp to amplify the X-shape of the legs and antennas.

Great colors, right moment, absolutely stunning shot! Well, the other ones are still more than just good
