Hi Gus - quite a diffrent crop/composition but works wel for me - like it coming from the bottom corner.
Details and exposure are excelllent as always.

Excellent exposure and very details. I do like the vertical crop, make me feel like the butterfly is climbing up the stem, but not sure about the cut off wing.
