This is another of my outakes for the macro challenge, somehow I feel there is something wrong with the picture, maybe you guys can help me figure out, what it is.

The crop may be it as well, but I almost think it's the angle of the shot on the butterfly and the leaf lead me sharply up and away from the image in an "uncomfortable" eye movement, which is why I also tilted my head a bit. If the angle was from behind the butterfly a bit, I think it would help lead me into the image more. But that's just my untrained opinion.

Nice detail and the background doesn't compete for my attention; I rather like this. Might crop a bit tighter on the bottom, maybe, but it's a nice macro.

Great sharp shot. Two things bother me a little, the fact that it's kinda a half cropped in shot, I think I want to either see the full thing or to be cropped in even tighter. I keep wanting to tilt my head to look at it too

I agree with the flash possibly working better with a diffuser, or off cam with a bounce reflector. Maybe it was the pose that was not feeling just right. The far leg in the back looks sort of like a shadow of the front one. Maybe we are not used to seeing butterflies landed on things other than flowers.

This is great. The only thing wrong is maybe the flash is a bit hard on the wing? It also doesn't have a ton of color on the underside of its wings but not much you can do with that. I would say this would of gotten a 6-7 from me. Probably a 7.
