This picture was taken using the EF 100mm f/2.8 macro USM lens and the Canon MT-24EX flash. The scene was backlit by the sun to give the lighting in the background. One flash head was used to illuminate the butterfly and the other was held in my hand to illuminate the leaves in the foreground. As far as post processing I did a slight crop, upped the contrast a bit and a light USM though it really didn’t need it.

Great shot! Very nice focus and DOF. The lighting is fantastic as well. (I'll take your word for there being multiple sources, though I don't think it is "obvious") This is one of my favorites from this challenge.
Wonderful macro - great sense of the fragility of the wings here, and the curl of its proboscis (sp?) . Great detail, good light. More than one source? It isn't clear, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt I suppose.
