Pretty shot, but the focus appears a bit soft and "foggy" looking.

Your blacks look washed out - use levels or curves to make the black tones even darker. 6.

Nice image, but what is the soft grey shadow/mark near the edge, at the middle left-hand side as it distract me from the butterflies.

Nice picture. Cropping would have helped a lot here. 6

This photo is crying for more contrast. There seems to be a haze over it.

This is a good photo but could be great if you crop much tighter increase contrast and saturation and sharpen.

blacks need to be a bit more black...

I think an Auto Levels adjustment in Photoshop or the equivalent would have really improved this image. The lower part of the tonal range is completely unused, making the photo look washed out.

I think in this shot the colours look a bit washed out. Increasing contrast and lowering the brightness just slightly should help give the colours in the shot more vibrancy :)

Imagining this as a square with the left cut off. Would bring the subjects up as well.

It seems that the blacks are a bit soft too. Curves? Auto contrast?
