    A fine shot the crop is tight but it works. I don't mind the OOF flowers but might give consideration to removing those on the left (I think it would depend which day it is!). Super details in the butterfly. I am wondering if the greens are a tad strong - maybe the yellow end and possibly there is a cast on the butterfly? It may be worthwhile applying the white dropper tool on the butterfly in the raw conversion - see what you think.

    If these are like the white butterflies I see, they are hard to catch. Agree with Jon, I'd love to see a looser composition. Cloning is fair. There is a bit of cyan on the butterfly but it may be natural, in the light. I always enjoy a touch of color, no matter how it got there.

    Maybe some more room all around but otherwise looks fine to me.

    Hi Stuart. The pose, sharpness, and exposure are all first rate! I would agree with cloning the OOF flower in the ULC and you might consider adding a little canvas on the left - it would be easy to do with this smooth background. Very nicely done!
