Very nice Michael,
I like the composition and capture. The background is very well balanced. The colors on your butterfly are vibrant with good details. The reds on the flower seem to be a tad on the hot side. Congrats on a fine image...:cool:

Beautiful butterfly and excellent image. Very sharp, excellent detail and terrific color. I like the background behind the butterfly but do find the shine on the leaf to the right to be distracting. Still, I like it a lot.

Ed, I'm going to have to stop commenting because you keep beating me to the punch. :D

That one spot on the leaf is distracting me as well, Michael. The rest of the image is very nice - I love profile images of butterflies so you can see those long rolled up tongues!

Hey Michael, very well done, good details and I like the BG.

Nice image Michael, the light and the details look great.

Good points already mentioned.
