Beautiful photo. Gorgeous lighting. Is this taken with your Olympus T6?

Thanks, everyone! Got lucky with the light. :)

This was taken with my larger zoom lens (100-400 mm). It's all I had with me at the time, but it was probably for the best, since this butterfly was a little skittish and I had to take the photo from farther away (and then crop it later).
