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.
