I shot this at Pinnacle Mountain while shooting for the landscape challenge. I was using my 55-200 lens and was surprised at the sharpness of this since the wind was blowing and the flower wouldnt remain still. My 55-200 lens is usually pretty soft.
just some levels adjustments, some dodge/burn where needed, resize and USM

Ive seen many butterfly shots. I would try something else next time.
The cropping is abit off. I would suggest that you crop the top to get rid of that negative space.
