Not only is your photo stunningly beautiful but you have given me some very interesting information about this butterfly! These are amazing little creatures and you have captured an exquisite specimen! I love your balance with the flowers against the black and white of the butterfly. Your focus and clarity are crisp and well defined against the faded leaves in the background. I love this photo, it is stunning. Well done and thank you for sharing!

Not sure about the back lighting, it does make the butterfly interesting, I like the red flowers and the bokeh, good clarity, good bokeh, good framing, I think a little bright. Good luck with contest

GREAT! thank you

Comment from mamamary
What a beautiful capture. It's ashamed that butterfly wings are so easily hurt or destroyed. They are like a powder. The orange flowers really spice up the photo. All technical aspects are excellent. Good luck in the contest.

Every thing about this image is perfect.. Thus a 6 all around!

You have a perfect backdrop that is blurred just the right amount, and the green works well with the colors in the butterfly.

Sharp as a tack, and framed in the thirds perfectly!

Standing and Clapping!
