Didn't know what to do for this challenge but this photo definately made the use of light. Not only did I have natural sunlight but I also used a flash for this.

Greetings from the Critique Club

I love the colors in this shot. The greens are saturated and textured, and the yellows and blue of the butterfly came out very well.

What really helps your composition is the fact that the leaf tips point towards the butterfly in the top of the frame.

The lighter colors of the butterfly look a little overexposed, washing out the "dappled light" feel, but is rather appropriate for the challenge in this case.

I might like to see a closer crop on the butterfly.

You got some nice comments and I agree with the comment about the highlight on the bottom leaf.

The light on the butterfly seems to be a little flat, possibly a flash? The leaf center bottom is also distracting, as it's as bright/brighter than the butterflies highlights...

the focus seems to be set on the leaf in the front and not on the butterfly
nice colors

Is this real ? Looks like it is going to fly right out of the picture.

After looking closer, sunlight & flash are noted. (reflection on lower leaves vs. shadow under butterfly). Initial impression was just a flash....
Nice shot! (I love Butterflies)

Yes, it is delicately beautiful, but there seems to be only one source of light. Nice photo, though.

Nice butterfly shot. Adjusted the score once I was informed of the multiple light involved here :)

Beautiful... but I don't notice two different light sources.

Looks like the cropping is a bit uneven. I'd like to see this tilted counter-clockwise by 2 deg. and centered. You captured a nice pose!
