Comment from R. Eugene Wallace
Very nice photo and great colors for a wonderful presentation. Very dynamic action and pose. Not the best pose or angle for a butterfly and the background is very distracting. Suggest you shoot at full open f stop and higher shutter speed to blur the background more. Could use a dark vignette for more isolation from the background. Thanks for sharing.

I love your composition..the hanging from the top really catches the eye. I like the color harmony, and the background blur too. Donkeyoatey
