Shoval,
Composition...The composition of this photo is really lacking, remember the rules of third's. Very few photos work with a subject being centered. The position of the butter fly leaves you to much room on either side making it a very busy photo (top & bottom) this leaves you in a very bad positon if you need to crop & here you need to crop big time. The back ground of this photo is very busy making the eye roam. The color scheme of all nutral coloring hides the butterfly making it very hard to focus on your subject. Also the butterflys wings being open would have helped alot.
Exposeure....This photo is over exposed by at least 1 or more stops. This caused you to get a mix of all nutral colors IE 18% gray through your entire photo. Adjusting yor exposure by 1 to 1 1/2 stops would have given you separation in your color (true color). This also would have reduced some of the glare you have on some of the rocks. This in turn would have given you details in the rock which you lost because of the glare. The butterflys wings being open would have made them a bit more transparent adding greatly to its color.
DOF...Better use of DOF would have helped you out here allowing you to take out much of the busy element of this photo and allow the viewer to better focus on you main subject.
Cropping....Cropping this photo at both ends would have helped you with your composition. It would have enabled you to move the butterfly off center. It also would have allowed you to remove a lot of the busyness from the background (top & bottom).
Challange.... I see where you where going with this and if the butterflys wings where open emphasizing on the wings it would have worked, but the way the photo is now it doesn't work. |

| he gets lost in the background, which is actually the same colour as the butterfly... :-( Light areas lead my eyes away from your main subject, it's hard to be recognised. He is beautiful sharp, anyway. |

| Respectfully, I don't get the connection. I would prefer more butterfly and less rock. |

| Needs some contrast. You can barely make out the butterfly |

| Hard to separate butterfly from background - not sure what's the transport? |

| Sorry, but this challenge is not about transportation means. It´s about vehicles that we can use to be transported! Did you can be transported by a butterfly? |

| Too much of a stretch for the challenge. The wings need to be lit from the side to bring out any color or it's too plain. |

| Little over exposed there in the sun. Digital and sun light can be tricky. Knowing your camera and using a lens hood will help. Unique shot and good to look at. |

| Sorry, but under no realistic definition is a butterfly a vehicle. |
