Ummm...since you titled this photo "A Simple Butterfly", I suppose you want the viewers to pay more attention to that beautiful butterfly than the flowers and rest?
I found the flowers brighter than the butterfly and, since usually our eyes get drawn to brighter areas first, I think I would suggest brighten the butterfly a bit and reduce the brightness and contrast of the flowers, etc. Hopefully my repost could give you some idea. I have to admit I came across trouble with the yellow of the flower...and something else, too :o Hopefully masters here could show you better examples.
Oh, perhaps cropping some of the flowers could help, too.

Hi Lady Mirenchu,
I like the composition and capture...the colors on the flower need to be toned down a bit and the colors on your beautiful butterfly need to be lightened by adjusting your mid-tones, and the contrast levels...would also recommend on blurring more the background...good show...looking forward to your next one...:cool:
desmond nailed the critique as i was thinking the same. some flash fill may have helped here? repost looks better, but that's a tough one. i think the deck was stacked against you without some more light on the bf.
Desmond's repost rocks - like the composition - the flowers were to bright, which desmonds repost address's nicely.
Agree with some BG blur.
Good show :)
A simple butterfly...
