 OK, so you're all going to hate this. The leaves made the photo too busy so I lowered the contrast and saturation on them. Then upped the contrast and saturation on the butterfly.

Not real sure I like it but I think its growing on me.

Great capture of the butterfly and whatever processing you did to get the background that way.

I love the subtleness of the background color in this one. However, even with the soft tones here, the background is busy. That with the business of the pattern on the butterfly, it just doesn't allow me to feel any sense of harmony and blending.
