This moth butterfly thing came and landed by me and I had to take a picture I was going to enter it for negative space but did not make it in time so here it is for free study. I sharpened and resized.

Not sure how many pixels you have to work with = but crop, crop, crop. your moth is just lost in the clover. (out of focus clover - bad DOF). How about a tight crop on the moth - maybe making it a tall thin portrait to include the stem? Maybe wide thin landscape, with moth on the right, and some clover but blurred a bit more for the center and left?

This would've been a better shot if you had a macro lense and you got up close.

what a beautiful little moth/butterfly...but i would hardly call this simply, its so busy with the greenery and has so much that isn't quite in focus or out of focus its really hard to find a real focal point

try to go closer, use a macro capable zoom lens would give you more flexibility interms of distance to subject

Pretty. Aren't those butterflies called "blues"? I like the lush clover, although a more shallow DOF might have been even more appealing.
