This is beautiful. I love the soft background against the perfectly sharp butterfly and the flower it is on. And the backlighting adds a lot of life to the butterfly. I hope to see this picture right up near the top! Good luck in the challenge!

I have certainly seen, (and taken), many butterfly photos, but I like this one particularly well. The lighting, color, composition all contribute to give this a lovely soft, airy quality, with colors that look old-fashioned, almost hand-tinted. The way the butterfly is hanging off the branch out into the "negative space" area, gives this composition that "something unexpected" that I love to see in photos. Thanks for another favorite!

My eye wants to turn this page from landscape to portrait. Sharp focus, color and capture. Good job.
