A fine shot, very crisp, the right hind wing is slightly out of focus, ideally the leaf would not have obscured the wing,, but I like the pose and the composition very much indeed. I don't mind the variation in colour background but I would suggest a little brushing top left to remove the pale area.

Hey Stuart,
Agree that this may be a touch stronger if the leaf didn't cut into the BF wings.....and I might tone down the stem a touch too, but overall.....this was done very well.

Hi Stuart. Good comments above by Jonathan and Roman so I won't repeat. You might also try some nr on the background to smooth it out more.
