Great subject. Nice depth of field. Wish you could caught the wings extended to add more area covered by the insect.

This is a unique angle for a butterly shot. Nice rich colors and good choice of focus.

A gorgeous rendering, technically proficient, a feast of an image! The folded wings vs. the rotundity of the petal, the repetition of warm tones between subject and habitat (the blurred -blotch-, the washed yellows) make for an unusual and striking aesthetic and natural composition.

The lack of a decorative border, especially, is a very fine distinction.

A little more depth of field would have been nice. I feel there is too much blur in the picture for my tastes. If the wings were in focus it would have be fabulous. Great capture still!

Great composition. The contrasts could be enhanced a little.

Yet, nice title -- he needs a shave.

In terms of composition I like the layout of the picture, good balance.

Technically I'll gripe a little bit, I'd like to have seen either a little bit more/a little bit less depth of field. I think either up to the antenna should have been in focus, or just the head of the butterfly.

Really a good composition.

I like the composition, but find the centre of the flower, though OOF, distracts me from the butterflies face. Also, it looks a little ocersharpened (light halo around the eyes and legs).
