It would be even more effective with the green desaturated as well.

I think if the cactus wasn't green, the flowers would pop more. Or maybe if the butterfly was the only thing in color.

I've come back to this shot. Essentially I like it but the butterflies confuse me, I would have expected them to be sipping nectar from the flowers. I don't know if this unfortunate timing, but they look rather artificial as though they've been stuck on. Please don't take offence, just my (hopefully) constructive thoughts.

Really like your DOF and setup, I like the colors you brought out also, but I think maybe everything in grayscalle with the butterfly's on a tighter crop would have been more of a WOW. IMO...Great shot non the less. 6
