Comment from Cephus
Well composed image with a nice balance of colors that go well together both in terms of hue and value. The butterfly is nicely displayed and has detail and sharpness - the lighting low from the left helps bring out detail in the left wing. Would prefer to see the flowers slightly darker but the images still works OK as they are .

Your cropping is very well done. A nice sharpness. I don't know what they are called, but I like how the 4 spinney balls frame the butterfly. Very nice color saturation. An excellent photograph that deserves the 5+ rating.
Take care,
Cheers,
Bill

I keep seeing, and rating images of butterflies and don't know if they are generally your images but I have always liked them.

This is a beautiful capture. Great detail, focus, DOF, lighting, exposure.
