Very nice capture of butterfly closeup. Colors are vivid. Lots of detail. Good composition. Good framing. Thanks for sharing.

Spectacular to say the least. You might want to blend the background color into the distracting light green spot in the upper right hand corner and make the blossom just a little more subdued, these two things are a little distracting. Other then that this is just about as perfect as you can get.
