Another lovely butterfly and flower interaction! I would consider reducing the brightness of the pink flower on the far right, under the upper wings of the butterfly; it really draws attention away from the main subject of flower and butterfly. The glow is yellows is very pleasing.

I really like all the textures and colors here, I would maybe keep the butterfly more natural in detail and let the flow of textures work on the rest of the image.

Very nice image Stuart. I love your butterfly shots. I would go a bit further and suggest removing that flower in the background altogether.
