A really attractive image, I like the colours and composition. It appears just a little flat to me in terms of colouration. I tried curves, pegging the highlights and lifting the shadow a little, I also tried a little vibrance in ACR, I think there is just a little "fizz" missing if you see what I mean. I wonder if 2/3 under exposure was ideal?

nice image agree with jonathan needs a little pop

The butterfly gave you a great pose and you nailed the sharpness on this one! I also like the comp, lighting, and exposure. Too bad there is a little nick out of the wing (this could be easily "repaired" with a quick mask if you were so inclined :S3: ). Jon's suggestion about the colors might be worth some experimenting. This is very well done!

Well composed, excellent sharpness and details. I like the colors, it looks very natural to me and I dont feel that it need more pop.
