Really nice job of getting both subjects within your DOF! The light was very bright - though you do have detail in the shadows. I might suggest trying to selectively tone down the brightest areas of the stems below the butterflies as they are drawing my eye. Otherwise, this is nicely done!

Excellent image.

I really like the subjects and composition I would suggest reducing the yellows in a Hue Saturation layer on the butterflies, this will offer even more detail.
