Lovely shot, but this one is slightly better composition: By stuart wanuck in forum Out Of The Box, In Camera and Post Processing Techniques, the butterfly is not obscured by any of the flower head.

Jon has a good point. The sharpness and detail on the monarch is just stunning, though!

I'd think about softening the two OOF flowers near the bottom -- cloning the green BG over them at low opacity could work well, or maybe some Selective Color.
