Hi Charles,
Congratulations on being selected as my first critique for the Critique Club.
A very beautiful capture. Aside from the bit of bad luck with the ray of light blowing out the colour on the butterflies back. I really like how the flower stems surround your subject. If the butterflies colour had come out clean they would have been quite complimenting with the flower stems. I personally don't see any issues with the focus for you pic...but would suggest trying the AF-C (focus Mode) for shots like these. I would. I also wonder if some fill flash would have helped. When the chance arrives I will defiantly try for myself.
If you would like any further comments on any particular aspects of this photo please feel free to PM me.
Scott.

Lovely, subtle image. Wish the butterfly was a little sharper, but nice capture of the moment. Title fits it perfectly. |

the idea of your photo is ok, but has some problems. Its a little overexposed...the colors on the butterfly are washed out. Also the background is not clean or contrasting..the butterfly red/orange and background also has red/yellow/orange and doesn't go well ...a more greener background will sure help |

A little soft and washed out. Good stop action. |

If the butterfly were just a bit more in focus and a little more closer this would have been a 9 or 10.
I do realize how tough this one is to get so I will give you a 7. At least your trying to be original and creative and not trying to copy a seagull shot.

Nice shot. Looks like there's some glare on the wing (?), but really good work just the same. |

I'm sure you'll get some comments about the blinding spots on the back of the butterfly, but this was an incredibly difficult shot to get. You'll get a couple of extra points from me for managing such a difficult shot. Good luck with the challenge!

Nice catch, but could use some more focus. |

what happened to the middle of the butterfly....looks like all the details are blown out.....an original shot though...don't see a butterfly midflight very often |
