This is a lovely capture but it is a little too busyIMO! The main butterflies get a bit lost in the fern and it is quite hard to split them into individual creatures. Very sharp centre and the browns and greens are v. strong. I probably would have cropped it tighter or tried from a lower angle.
Just scrolled down and seen you had quite a few comments on this! Sorry I haven't come up with anything new! |

This is so cool. You have the best butterfly photos. I would maybe play around with the colors on this one. I would desat the background and greens just a bit and pump up the butterfly colors - also just a tiny bit. I think it would maintain the scene, but give an easier subject to focus on for the viewer since there is a lot going on.
I do like it alot just the way it is as well. How wonderful to have the camera and be available to capture this sight. Thanks for sharing! |

| I love this photo... it is so fairytale-ish. The brown moss with the bright butterflies is a great contrast and they are placed very well in the photo. I think this photo is great. |

| Nice feeling of chaotic activity in this photo. All butterflies a bit soft but I can;t see how you could have done ptherwise. I wonder what it would look like cropped tighter so that the butterflies more-or-less fill the frame even if you clip some of the wings? |

A bewildering array of colors and objects makes for a chaotic scene, though this may be what you were trying to convey. The rarity of such a collection gives it interest, but the chaos leaves me unsure of what exactly I should be looking at, costing it a point. The choice of a wide aperture leaves both the far and near butterflies slightly out of focus, and grates on the sense a bit. Since the upper left is already dark, I would have burned it out to get rid of the hanging bits of vegetation.

Very nice colors and a good capture. This image seems to be a bit busy to me. I can't put my finger on what is distracting me but it seems like a glow or so neat image. Not sure.
Still a good image but the focal point seems busy and doesn't hold my attention.

| This shot proves that breaking the rules once and a while pays off...Great shot! The composition and the clutter of the shot are both in the shots best interest. Crisp and clear image! |

Awesome colours and not the sort of thing you see every day! I think the busy-ness works because the butterflies are light-coloured and the bg is dark, so it's not overpowering.
Great crisp, sharp image! |

| Wow. Very cool shot. Sometimes the best images are of things we never see if only because they give us a glimpse into what is possible. People could argue about composition and busi-ness and DOF but in doing that, they miss what is in front of them. |
