I like the crop and composition, the butterfly is sharp and there is good detail. The hairs on the top of the thorax are just a little indistinct, perhaps a tad more sharpening would help. The exposure is very good and I like the colours. I sense the reds however may be just a tad over saturated

Beautiful Allen... I love the bg... great comp and sharp detail... maybe a portrait crop might work... WD!:w3

The BF looks good to me, I like a lot the oof reds in the BG but I'm also thinking about desaturate the red just a bit. Composition works as presented. Well done.

[Anita Bower]

The yellow against red looks stunning. Nice composition. Nice detail. The only thing I'd change is the dark green rectangle in the upper right corner--maybe clone and blend it into the image. This image stood out for me in the thumbnails.

Better to add some CYAN to the REDs in selective color than to desaturate them.... Though I like all the elements of the image, especially the o-o-f BKGR, combined they make the image a bit too busy for me. Assuming no flash, I believe that this might have been a killer if it had been made in softer light. What time of day was it created?

Hi Allen. Hard to ignore the colors on this one! :S3: You nailed the yellows again though some of the reds seem a bit bright. (Interesting comment by Artie - I'll have to try that.) The butterfly gave you a good pose and you have good overall sharpness of your subjects against a pleasing OOF background. Nicely done!
