Why is 8 afraid of 7? Because 7 ate 9. ( speak it aloud). It's late here, I'm getting punchy.

Neither, I give it a 5. Nice average picture. A little too dark for my taste.

Any real sense of texture seems lost here, quite possibly because of your sharpening, which has also produced those halos around the legs and antennae. I find tthe cropping alos to be a bit heavy-handed - more consideration might have been lavished on just what parts of the flowers you were going tto include/exclude - heree you seem to have concentrated entirely on the butterfly.

great sharp butterfly shot. Crop is extremely tight, could use a bit more space.

Very nice macro. Cropped a litte tight and centered for my tastes. I wish that the flowers offered a different range of color instread of blending into the butterfly so that he would remain more the spotlight of interest (I know you have no control over nature! lol). I think the focus needs to be razor sharp to really stand out as a macro in a challenge.
