Buttering flutterfly and a flower portrait

[Raj_55555]

No story to share, but I do hope these are good enough for TPF this time. Again shot with the D100 and sigma 75-300. I was going full manual focus, and the butterfly was really fluttering around a lot. I think these turned out pretty nice.
This is the first time I actually took a flower portrait on purpose so any feedback and critique is welcome as well!
