Wonderful photography! Pin sharp focus and lovely depth of field. Complimentary colors give this image a nice "feel" especially with the neutral colors on the butterflies. Very well done!

Nice DOF! Fine exposure time getting the stop action on both the butters.
A wee more space is needed at bottom and top. If that is all you had, then you edit in the space. You free transform your image.. add top and bottom using clone tool I showed you.
I may have smoothed out the background some more.
But..FINE shot!

A beautiful image with great natural colors and excellent composition. To get two of them in the air is a remarkable feat. I love the soft light and the beautiful cropping. It should be a very strong favorite in the contest. Best wishes.

Comment from SteveANH
Spectacular image! I really like the stop action if the one that is in mid air.
Very good focus and the background is nicely faded and really supports the entire scene.

Bravo!

Absolutely beautiful, appropriate title. The butterflies are gorgeous and the black and white colors are striking. Very complimentary to the colorful flower and b/g. Very nice composition. Great clarity and color with great initial impact. Excellent exposure.
