I like the simple design, the way the colors work together, and the square crop. It looks as if the butterfly could benefit from some additional sharpening.

I too like the complementary colours, my first impression was that the hairs above and to the left of the eye were a little indistinct - a little more sharpening as Artie suggest may remedy this. Other than that I think this is a super image - very clean and of high quality.
Hi Allen. Beautiful colors, a nice comp, a pleasing clean background, and a nice specimen giving you a good pose! Here's another vote for trying some additional sharpening on the butterfly which would put this fine image over the top!
Great macro shot. Like the balance of the colors and the position of the butterfly. Agree with the sharpening of butterfly. If mine I would decrease the saturation of pink and would try to avoid banding in BG. TFS.
