Beautiful colors and a good/unique angle of view. Nice that you shot flower and buterfly with wings up, rather than the typical wings spread shot. Bumping up on final look.

Macros have to be in excellent focus to be effective.

Not as crisp and vivid as I would expect from an image of this type 5

Increasing the contrast would give this photo more "pop" and I think a slight touch of USM would sharpen it up nicely.

Looks like this has been cropped pretty tight. Still an awesome shot

A little flat in the contrast and lighting. Lacks the blacks in the shadows and edges to really stand it out.

This would have been nice if it hadn't been blurry and the grain is very evident. 5

Very nice comp. A little soft, but it doesn't really take anything way. Nice.

I don't think it's called a spotted beauty. It is an Agraulis vanillae - Gulf Fritillary.
