 We went to the garden centre yesterday and got a couple of Swan plants to attract the Monarch Butterfly's. This was our first visitor. I feel this looks a bit overedited but the harsh mid-day sun is really the problem. The unedited image also has the same feel to it.

Convert from RAW
Hue/Saturation on the Butterfly
Levels on the Butterfly
Green filter
Gradient fill to even up the lighting
Levels
Cloned out some distractions
Flatten

Neat picture. Good use of the theme too. Its on the center of the plant and the wings really emphasize "centerness".
