Harshad, this is one of those times where I think less might have been more. F11 seems a bit stopped down for this busy image, especially since the butterfly seems to be all in the same focal plane. Is there a reason you chose f11 for this image? I would think f4 or f5.6 would have been plenty and still would have left you with a fairly blurred BG.

The details on the butterfly are very nice, though (that's the benefit of f11!)

Great stuff, I like that orange color with the light green butterfly. Nice sharp details on the butterfly. I might try to tone down the bg a bit, but that seems minor overall.

Excellent sharpness on the butterfly and flowers. I too like the greens of the butterfly with the red-orange of the flowers. My only suggestion would be to tone down the bright areas of the background as they tend to draw my eye away from your subject.

Excellent detail in this Harshad. Love the pose and colours too. Ditto toning down of bg but still a great image.

Nicely done Harshad. I really like that you have the butterfly flat to the camera. The colours also add a lot of appeal to the photo also and like the idea of toning down the bg as mentioned. Very well done. Dave

This is a lovely shot of the butterfly. Agree with the others about the background. I would have also probably cloned out the black on the bottom right of the photo.
