Comment by Azrifel:
I had something like this (in a landscape portrayal) on my wall for a long time. It too had an orange butterfly with a purple/green background. I don't know what it is, but these bright colors and especially the orange vs green/purple works refreshing, as if spring is just around the corner (while they just announce a -10 C temperature for the next week).
The shallow dof always works great with these kinds of shots, but with butterflies I think it is important to keep the petals extending from the head in focus. You did a good job with this one. 8

Pretty shot. Wish the dof was just a tad deeper. Good colors and blur in the bg, though.

I'm not sure why, but this just doesn't come off for me. Looks a bit cartoon-like, I guess. I'm probably being harsh, because it's a good photograph of a well composed scene. It just lacks appeal somehow. 5.

The composition of the shallow DOF background subtly highlights the main subject well.

Rich textures, atmosphere and a sence of menace. Very nice shot one of my top two.
