Took y'all's advice and got rid of the flower on the RHS. Also, in order to crop & get the correct dimensions for DPCPrints things got a little tight - thus the additional border (which I hope actually adds to the image instead of detracting). Also bumped up the colors a bit on Ms. Fly. :-)

Thanks for the comments!

Simple love it - Great work - one thing though - again there is a distracting element - the flower on the RHS. Can you crop it?

Wow. 2 for 1!. I can't tell if its about the butterfly or the flower. Lovely contrasts.

I think you have captured this in such a perfect way.

I like the composition a lot. Great detail in the flower, as well as the butterfly and a nicely blurred background. One slightly negative note, however, is the apparent overexposure in the whites of the butterfly. Love the colour treatment, too, by the way.

There seems to be some color artifacting or aberations on the field color on the upper portion of this image. While this is a far better subject than the previous butterfly, the background isn't doing it justice. The blown highlights on the wings is a tad distracting. However, the touch of pink really makes this unique and quite lovely. I would clone out the bud on the right.

Tiger swallowtail - one of my fav. butterflies to photograph. Colors seem a little off - don't want to say oversaturated because I think it is actually the background that is causing the issue (just my opinion of course!). The blueish tint behind the wings seems to almost bleed into the butterfly.
