Nice creatures and the orange adds good color. I can't tell what the reddish stuff is. It's a bit congested.
Question: How do you keep the squirrels from stealing the goods???
Gorgeous creatures they are. I think it would've been better to concentrate on one butterfly than all of them just to cut some of the other bad stuff out of the pic. I think it would really increase the impact of this subject.
Ahh, it's the old "put-some-old-oranges-and-fruit-on-a-plate-to-attract-some-butterflies-to-get-their-photo" trick again! Good one! It worked :-) The only distracting part about this image is that the background is a little load. The plate is already full of all kinds of colors and action. It would have been better to have a neutral background or to have used quite a wide open aperture to blur it out.
The subject does not appear to have enough impact with the background is such clear focus. Choosing a depth of field that only includes the plate and not the plants in the back would improve this image. You would probably have to move the plate further away from the plants and/or choose a larger aperture (smaller number).
