Hi John,
Nice sharpness on the butterfly and I really like the background too. Interesting eye. I find the out of focus part of the perch that intersects the butterfly to be distracting. Still a fine image.

John I love the colours and the composition. I think the image would have been a lot more pleasing visually if you had not been so close, the seed head would then have been in focus as would the antennae.
