I believe the image has to have some element of "celebration" in it without the Title

Nice butterfly macro. Good colors and texture. Bumping up after second look.

A little soft to my eye but a decent macro shot.

I don' think this meets the challenge..

this looks a little grainny to me, and i think the colors could be a little sharper

Good macro...except the black part in the upper right attracts my attention a little bit. Doesn't really meet the challenge...6

This Monarch is indeed very beautiful to gaze upon. I love butterflies, but still, nonetheless, I think that this image could have been much stronger if you captured the butterfly resting on a flower. I know nature is not the best model when it comes to doing what you want. But patience does pay off if you just wait for the right shot. I say that the butterfly would be more of a compliment to a flower because that would have played in nicely with the title you have for this piece. "Stop to see the Beauty" could have played into that commnonly heard saying "stop and smell the roses/flowers". Well, if the buttefly was resting on a flower in this nicely detailed and vividly colored capture it would play on both of those ideals that life is meant to be enjoyed - celebrated.
