A gorgeous butterfly. From a technical standpoint the focus looks off. It could be camera shake, but based upon the amount of light I am going to guess focus was just a bit off. I would also be interested to see i this is an extreme crop as that might help explain. Gorgeous butterfly and I know that it is so hard to catch one this beautiful as they are quick little buggers.

too bad this is slightly out of focus, your shallow depth of field is really good and having the point of interest slightly off center boosts the interest in this shot

It was hard for me to tell what this was at first. The easily recognizable silhouette of the butterfly is interrupted by the grass or leaf or what it is resting on.

I can see what you're going for, but I think that the butterfly is not exposed enough here to make the imapact that you are looking for.

Hard to make out exactly what's going on there, but I get the idea. Getting in a bit closer would have given this an edge I think.

Interesting moment to capture. Wish I could see a bit more detail as from what I can see those are pretty butterflies.

I think a tighter crop would improve this image. I find it hard to make out the subject here, especially with the limited size allowance for the challenge.
