Stuart....this is lovely. You have the focus right where it is needed and the oof flowers compliment your subject. The bg is well handled and I am loving the color palette of this image. Very Nice work!

This looks like a Gulf Fritillary to me... actually the butterfly that started my interest in butterflies so one of my favorites.... If it were mine, I might try slightly changing the horizontal so the main stems are a little more vertical and I might crop the flowers on the bottom of the frame so the main fowers have more impact. Very nice.

Hi Stuart. This beautiful specimen is posing nicely for you and you nailed the focus! The colors and patterns on the butterfly really pop. It also stands out nicely from the background. I would agree with Linda about cropping from the bottom and you might also tone down the saturation of the greens a little. Overall, this is very well done!

Very nice shot, I agree regards the crop and desaturating the greens, I would also consider desaturating everything a little bit. In addition I would try brightening the butterfly selectively - again only a small amount.
