    Nice sharpness on your subject, a clean background, and I like the diagonal of the wings. If mine, I would be tempted to crop about half the open space on the left. Very well done!

    Very sharp and in the correct plane of focus, the butterfly is well presented but I feel the perch is a little unflattering, the two partially hidden flower heads are distracting as is the bifurcation below the right wing. Again I would suggest reducing the yellows in the butterfly. (If you make a levels layer and Alt click the left hand slider you will see why I suggest this)
