Very nice shot. Sharp image with nice Bokeh. Monarch is just a little in the shadow. I like the way you composed this too. Well done.

Nice capture of the two butterflies. The Monarch is slightly underexposed, maybe you could add a bit of contrast or brightness. Focus is very good. Framing is well done.

Good Image, very well presented.

This is an illustration of a excellent use of light and imagination.

Biggest problem for photographers, is making their art look its best. Many make it too dark or light and flat, with a lack of contrast, but you have done very well. This is an excellent contest entry. Many seem to focus just on color, instead of interesting content.

As Ansel Adams or Edward Weston and many others have said, "80% of really Great images are created in darkrooms." Today, they would be saying in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Overall, you accomplished something very good. The highlights, middle tones and shadows, are very good. Depth of field which blocks elements which could be distracting. Probably they could not be improved. The Butterflies really add punch to the pink flowers.

I love this ! Its so beautiful. Its possible that I'm biased because I have a bit of thing about butterflies. The bokeh background is perfect. I enjoyed reviewing this.

Wild pink is a good title for the picture. I have tried to take pictures of butterflies and have been unlucky with it so good job on being able to do that. The butterflies really compliment the flower.
