To me, this looks like the winner. It's print worthy and is beautifully lit. Wonderfully composed, enhanced by the blurred sides.

Other than some miniscule hints of color noise in the hairs in front of the eyes and in the front leg area, this is about as flawlessly composed a macro as they come for me. The personality of the subject--such as it may be--reverberates, and the contrast of color tonality and DOF are incredible. My top pick this challenge.

Such cute little butterflies. The soft green background really sets him off nicely.

This is stunning and a superb capture. The coloration on the entire image is great! Not to mention sharp Black and bright White are my colors.

The technique here is both understated and profoundly effective for me. I'm interested to learn whether this was a specialty lens or a free lens capture.
