Nice composition and color, but I'd prefer a bit more sharpness.

Same think as above, except it's even softer. I suspect this wasn't such 
a great lens on film in its time, at least wide open. Pretty hard to get 
a good capture of such a small, flighty critter with a wide lens.

The name of that kind of butterfly is 'skipper'.

This variety, whichever one it may be, is fairly common around here.
