Wow Stuart, this butterfly must have just emerged - it's in perfect condition! The butterfly gave you a nice pose showing off those wings, I like the diagonal of the perch and both subject and perch are very sharp. I think a couple tweaks would put this one over the top. If this was mine, I would crop a little off the left and either clone or use a quick mask to remove the OOF plants in the LL area of the frame. This is such a strong image that I think a little extra work would be well worth the effort!

Gorgeous image, the colours don't look quite so saturated as previously.

Stuart...I agree with Steve.....a bit more effort can turn this into a very strong image! Nice work!

A lovely shot! The butterfly is perfect. The diagonal lines are strong. Agree with Steve's suggestions.
