Very lovely and delicate photo. The background really helps make the flower and butterfly standout and seem very dramatic.

Great timing of capture of the beautiful monarch butterfly, splendid colors, nice texture, and sharp focus. I like the composition and the background, like the amazing details and good lighting. Excellent camera settings and good frame. Well done.

This very well framed and balanced with good bright light and sharp focus giving lovely colours and clear crisp detail. The DOF is very good keeping both butterfly and flower in focus. The background colour works well with the main subjects.

This is a truly lovely photo with the pretty butterfly sitting on the colorful flower. The background looks great as well, slightly textured, softened and in muted greens, The butterfly and flower are standing out from it in an excellent way.

Your focus is nice and sharp showing clear and well defined details in the butterfly, and the exposure is very good.

The cropping is neatly done and the butterfly and flower have got a good placement within the frame, and this makes for a well balanced composition. This is a well taken photo and with a very good DOF.
