Nice capture of an elusive critter. Seems to have a bit of a bluish green cast to it - try taking into Photoshop (or equivalent) and do auto color. Really brings out the butterfly's colors and tones down the blue/green cast.

Great closeup idea. Just seems a bit overexposed and the head of the butterfly is a bit out of focus.

Depth of field too shallow here and focus is on wings, not body of butterfly.

When I first looked at this I thought I was seeing the back of a vehicle with a bike rack. Then I noticed the bus, then that it's the front of the bus. Yikes! So who's getting the free ride; the bike or the bike rider? Titles can be so confusing sometimes. ;^)

Overall, the quality of the image is fine, especially in the technical details. The background, for me, seems distracting and a little flat or dull. Small boost in color sat maybe? Hmmm...

Anyway. Good to see everyone back into challenges again. I had missed your re-entry. Smile and keep having fun! ;^)

I like the shadow of the bike and the rack on the roadway and colors look very natural. There is a bit too much negative space on the right that doesn't really add to the image. There are two solutions to correct the negative space. First, give this image a square crop and just remove it. Second, this would require reshooting so not as likely, include more of the bus in the image and maybe a rider boarding if possible.
