greater contrast between the butterfly and the flowers

I like it. Turn up the saturation on the yellows and pink. It appears dirty. Maybe that is the plant, but the butterfly isn't really set apart from the plant either. Try playing with the depth of focus to blur the background leaving the butterfly sharp.

I know you didn't have control over it, but the background is too distracting for the delicate subject.

Well placed subject. Unfortunately BG is so busy that it overwhelms the butterfly.

background seems a bit too distracting, esp. all the little pink flowers - maybe you could've narrowed your DOF to just the subject (ie butterfly)

Really kind of hard to see the butterfly. Maybe adjust the saturation a bit to make it stick out a bit more.

The butterfly is on the 1/3 botom left hand side of the image. But the background is too much in focus and "too loud" which makes the butterfly not stand out against it. Next time try to use much larger (smaller number) aperture to blur the background and make the subject stand out.

Too much deep of field here, i find the background disturbing. Try to isolate the subject using a higher aperture.

almost lose the butterfly in the midst of all those blossoms...the whole shot seems off kilter to me, as the blooms are listing to the right

Did you paste the butterfly in the picture?

I think a macro with shallower DOF would have worked better to separate the butterfly from the extremely busy backround, it´s hard to make it out as it blends in so well.

wow...that is a busy photo. I think a more shallow DoF would have helped me zero in on the butterfly.

nice positioning of the subject.
