This butterfly was motionless while I snapped this photo. Models like him are hard to find. He finally flew off after I took several macro shots. I trimmed this photo to add to the impact of his facial features. I had some nice outtakes, but let my hubby help me with chosing my entry this time.

Here I tried some tricks with your image.
What I think is that you should avoid as much perspective as possible when you are trying a bang on shot like this. Or it should be about the same central axis. Also I think space on top is a little too much..takes the focus away from the butterfly.
eyeball to eyeball! I'd crop the top of the frame, maybe even a little at the bottom. Wish there cold have been more directional lighting - something to add contrast.
