Well balanced photo. The butterfly is definitely highlighted in color from the flower. They compliment each other well. Love the muted background.

This is unparalleled in terms of photo contrast. The butterfly color suites perfectly with the flower color. It's a beautiful capture. It reminds me of sunset colors. Thanks so much for sharing this magnificent piece!

That's a very attractive picture,my friend!
The bright and exotic looking flower and the butterfly checking it out look especially nice set against the dark background of the image!

Very good entry for the contest. I like the vertical view of this beautiful Hibiscus with the swallowtail butterfly at work, with the dark background really making it pop out. Very good lighting and focus showing great detail in the markings. Lovely composition. Good luck in the contest. Suzanne

Comment from Browncat
Your overall composition is excellent, along with very good cropping. But the red blossom on the top appears to be washed out and slightly out of focus. It detracts from the beautiful butterfly.

Quite a nice entry into the competition posted here! A fair bit of nice red shades presented here in your nice nature shot which is well composed. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!
