    Hi Rod. This image has a lot going for it - nice pose, plus good comp, lighting, exposure, sharpness, and background. The wings of the butterfly look, to my eye, like they might be slightly oversharpened - though that might be somewhat due to the light angle. This is very well done!

    Very nice Rod, excellent sharpness, great exposure, great BG, really good comp. I just wish that the bottom of the stem was as sharp as everything else but still very nice as is.

    Hi Rod, this is a beautiful Bfly and I really like your capture! The bending stem leading up to the flower and the bfly looks fantastic! IMHO, the butterfly itself has a slight flashed look to it but I think that should be an easy fix.....using SH or maybe adding a little black to the whites should fix that. I would also consider cropping a slice off the bottom....maybe to just above your signature. I know it's considered a no no to have something entering the frame in a corner but it doesn't bother me at all. Overall this is extremely well done!

    This feels pretty dark overall on my monitor...I wouldn't mind seeing Ken's suggestion of a shadow/highlight adjustment and possibly a curves change as well. I think some of the detail is getting lost in the darkness of the image.
