Lovely shot. Your DOF is perfect along the butterfly and the background blur adds interest.

Minor quibble, but I would have filled the frame with the butterfly and the flower. Too much background.

A nice macro shot. Normally, I'm not too big on the titles, but I feel the title is part of the challenge in this case. For peace, I would like to see a calming background. The background here, while blurred, is a little too busy for a peaceful feeling.
