Might have cloned out the little streak under leaf on the left...sorta distracts from overall image.

Ok, there's a lot of things wrong with this.. well, not 'wrong' but unappealing: The lighting sucks. On camera flash is the lighting of the devil because everything looks 2D which is a shame when you have nice toroids (ooo yeah) like these. The background: that isn't pretty either. was it a sheet of paper? If so, it looks more grey than anything else which again, doesn't help things. In PS you can do a lot of stuff to help you out- maybe the levels to make it white, maybe dodge it all so it goes white, even the contrast might work, but the grey is possibly the worst colour you could have gone for.

I like the red donuts, but I don't like the lighting on it. It kills everything you've worked at. Also, it's very soft in the corners, the crop is a bit tight and the positioning is a bit boring.

Now, having said that, i'm deliberately trying to be nitpicky on this and explain the things I think are wrong with the picture so if you get a low score and nobody explains why, this may be of some use. I'm not saying anything personal so please don't be offended by this as I know it must come as a blow but if it helps, then i'm glad.

I think that is actually a colourful moth on an onopened pioni flower. It is nice and sharp, but unfortunately the lighting is very harsh. 5

The butterfly looks great, but only using 37% of the max image dimensions is probably going to hurt your score.

I like the composition and the butterfly is pretty but it doesn't really pop for me. perhaps with more contrast. wither way a nice capture here.

Boring and the flash or whatever lighting you used is oppresive.

I like the vastness of it, but I think you could crop out that little bit at the bottom left and lose a distracting element

I think being able to see the entire shoreline on the left would have been nice.
