I love the way the light is shining through the wings. Very good color and a good solid composition.

Great composition. I like the "crop" you did here? I'm guessing a crop because of the slight soft-focus. The colors are great. I actually like the context here, as you usually seem this types of shot with a blurred background. I would almost be tempted to lower the exposure a bit though to bring the yellow against the black a bit more. Still a great photograph.

really beautiful and the colors are great!
the focus seems to be a bit soft, I wonder how it would look like with blurred background to draw attention to the butterfly or maybe sharpen everything?

Beautiful butterly and backlighting. Some sharpening would really help pop this - have you tried unsharp mask in Photoshop or similar? It really is a nice photo that would look even stronger, I think.

beautiful image, though it could stand to be a bit more in focus.

I love butterfly's but this is not the best photo of them.

Nice colors in the butterfly

looks like this might be a fairly heavy crop to achieve the macro effect. In the event that I am correct, have you considered playing with arbitrary rotations to complement your composition? I'm looking at this and thinking that about 12 degrees to the right would make a nice line across the wings from the top left corner down and generally make the overall effect slightly more aesthetic.

a little too soft or too much crop to hold the sharpness.

interesting subject but the photo quality is not so good, it's not sharp, the white flowers are overblown

Beautiful capture and framing. Image does appear a little out of focus and grainy. Good Luck.

A bit out of focus but besides that a nice shot :)

This is lovely, but lacks crisp focus and some of the whites look blown out. Good color, croping, saturation.
