Really surprised this wasn't received better. Maybe at this point, everybody is sick of butterflies and flowers. LOL Still, a stunning shot and I really like it.

Laurie this is such a great composition, and shot so well. I had picked another photo with a little lizard peering over a leaf as yours :) I love how clean that background is in this. Great shot!

Beautiful Butterfly! Nice composition. I wonder how you took the picture. Did you "help" the butterfly to stay on the flower, and was a white background used here - this makes it a little bit unnatural. 8

The stem seems a little out of focus at the bottom of the picture that distracts just a little bit, overall nice shot, good colors :)

For some reason, this spoke to me. Love the stark white background. Nicely composed and simple, yet effective. 8

This simplicity of this one is so good, and I just love the detail of the butterfly.My only suggestion is the background color doen't make the image sing, but I still like what I see here.
