Excellent focus and composition. I like your DOF also

I like the detail in the butterfly and the resulting contrast with the Star Thistle, but the backgound is a little distracting. Maybe a softer focus in the background would help. 6

C'mon, you can think of a better title that's worthy of such a great picture!

Very nice focus and very pretty subject. I only wish the background were more blurred out and not so distracting... but this is basic editing :) 8.

Great shot and nice composition. If anything, I guess I'd wish for a shallower depth of field so the base of the plant was out of focus to help keep focus on the butterflly and thistle bloom.

I like this. It could use more green in the background and less brown.

Minimal yes, but doesn't have the simple elegance I associate with minimalism.
