    Hi Jon,
    I like the subject being parallel to us in this frame and the background looks nice. The patterns on this species are wonderful. I think there may be too much contrast on the butterfly itself - something looks slightly overdone to me - I'd give it a second look.

    Colors throughout the image look quite nice. Great background. The composition works for me as well.

    Thanks Allen and John, much appreciated comments.
    I posted this particular image to gauge you reaction and I am grateful. I did in fact purposefully enhance contrast on the butterfly, I wanted to gauge your reaction, the colours portrayed in the butterfly are just a little OTT.
