Sweet! & I like what you did w/the border, too. It's a great feeling to get a good shot of a wild butterfly. These are all 'keepers.'

Very nice triptych of the butterflies. The border color somehow isn't working for me in how is blends with the images. Maybe trying a different color would make the lovely photos pop.

The image is stunning. However, I think your composition is absolutely PERFECT and makes this a stop and stare shot.

I think the colors and the vibrancy work beautifully here. I am the Queen of filters in PP, and I hate to agree and go against grain, but I think it detracts a bit as is. I like the feel, just backing it off just a bit, keep in mind that's only my opinion.
The stem coming in on the diagonal and the stunning colors really make this a fantastic addition to your images.

I like it. B&W works well for this little bit of chaos.
