Attractive subject and good lighting. Shame about the bright spots in the background, but you have to take what you can get.

I've gone back and forth on this one between 9 and 10...I am going to stick with 9 because, while they are a nice mirror of the butterfly spots, I think the white circles detract

Wonderful macro, only thing is the light in your background is a distracting element

Very nice butterfly shot. I feel that the composition lets it down a little... the eyes are the focus for me and they are too centred in the frame for my liking. I'm also not sure about the proportion of bark in the shot. Other than that, brilliant! I really love the proboscis, that's what makes this shot so effective. Nice dappled background, although I'm not sure there is enough contrast between this and the subject. 9

Great macro and light. I like the crop with the main subject to the left... good luck!

Interesting image and I like the little blobs of light in the background. In terms of DOF I think this could benefit from having less, along the lines of Gordon's "Camouflage" image, though I appreciate you may not have wanted that look.
