Comment from Ranettede
I like the composition of this photo. I like the way that the sun is shining thru the butterfly's wing. The focus is very clear on the point of interest and the background is blurred just the right amount.

Comment from Bushbaby
An unusual take of a butterfly. Nice colour, tonals, exposure and lighting. God focus, clarity, sharpness, contrast and impact. Nice DOF and eye appeal. Good balance, counter balance and counter point. The composition would have been better if the butterfly was more visibly located, but it remains a great shot. Nice visual capture and soft hold. Great capture, Liz.

Initial impact on this photo is very good. The color harmony is very nice. The center of interest is a Beautiful Monarch Butterfly.( Might crop right and bottom sides closer to center of interest to bring more focus on this Beautiful Center of interst.Just my opinion. Creativity of presentation is very good: I enjoyed reviewing your work and thank you for sharing

The focus and detail are good.
Colours and lighting look spot on.
I like the blurred background, it really makes your butterfly and flower stand out.
