The lights are a nice effect, would try to clone out there reflections. Dodging the grill will bring out some highlights as well. Over all this ais a cool shot of a cool car

I'll bet you're wondering why your butterfly came in 6th and another butterfly came in first.

Your shot is composed very well. The square crop and main subject placement are very pleasing. As for the bokeh effect, there's not really any out of focus highlights, but then there wasn't any in the top finisher either.

There's not much to critique in this top 10 image. If I had to pick something that made a difference between this one and the top finisher it is the background. Yours a bit busy and fights for attention from the butterfly, albeit only slightly. The blade of grass coming in from the top is a bit on the over exposed side. I would have burned it down in the editing.

Other than that, congratulations on your top 10 finish, and your new personal best by a long shot!

I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
