great job! although you have some blown out areas this is still a fantastic image, the comppsition is perfect with two leading curved lines flowing beautifully into the image and a perfect juxtaposition of the left side of the image with the right. great photo. 9

i think you should clone out the green leaf in the bottom left, also how come just under the butterfly between its legs the sky looks a lighter/different shade of blue? poor editing? actually im noticing you have the same thing going on in parts of the plant, especially near the bottom. I dont know if this will work in you case but instead of selecting objects which is painful and takes ages use "selective color". If you dont use photoshop just ingore the rest of what i say. If I am imagining your original photo correctly I would say go to selective color and then the cyan channel. Boost the cyan to +50, Magenta to around +25 and yellows to +100, and black to +25, and play around with the blue channel in the same way. Play around with the numbers. i think that might be an easier way to do what you were trying to do.

i think this one needs cropping or cloning to simplify the compostion. the green leaves coming into and leaving the frame are too distracting and take away from the photo imo.

i love the background bokeh here, expecially the colors and shapes... i cant put my finger on it but there is something that bothers me visually in the photo. Maybe its my subconcious reaction to the purple (i hate purple btw), i dunno... its a nice photo. Maybe a bit more contrast between the butterflies and the flower/background could improve it.

i think the background in this one is a bit too distracting and you have a few hot spots on the purple flower. But you certainly captured the butterfly well, maybe a closer crop will work better....

the radial blur or lens baby isnt really work well here. the center point of the blur seems to be the tree in the background above the guy in yellow rather than the guy himself.
