Nice, rich colors and really interesting composition. It's nice that you met the challenge without a glaring light in the photo. Good job!

I wanna be in that chair. The footprints in the sand are a little distracting, but you had to get the chair there somehow. lol. Nice picture. Really makes me want to be in it. :)

Greetings from the Critique Club!

A great image of a beautiful insect. Focus is great, colors are perfect, DOF is adequate. The composition works; the diagonal lines add life and the subject is placed well within the frame. The point of view is conventional, showing off the whole butterfly without emphasizing any particular part. And it works fine; this is a great photo. But not special.

The one thing I don't particularly like about the photo is the sharpness of the flowers in the foreground. A little selective blurring (not too much!), or maybe even masking them out of the USM applications could have made them a little less obtrusive.

for me this picture falls into the category of a solid picture. however, what keeps it from being a top 5 picture is the common aproach. top pictures seem to have an eye opening view or perspective that others don't.
