I like the orientation and cropping on this photo. colors very vibrant and rule of thirds used to its advantage. BG provides good contrast to the subject. Very nice.

I like this. I'm a Macro wannabe and I shot a butterfly this weekend also. Yours has better colors and DOF. I personally like the nip on the left wing. It makes me wonder what happend to him!

I also chased some bugs this past week. My entry in the Camouflage challenge required me to squat in weeds near the Mississippi River in New Orleans for about an hour.

Good Job on the butterfly.

I find the crop on this a bit tight and crowded. Pull it back a bit because it's an interesting subject!

I'm finding this slightly washed out on my monitor. Maybe just darken a tad with a bit of contrast thrown in, and add a bit of saturation to the colours to pop them out. I like the framing on it. Very well done!
