Hi Michael,

Very nice image, but to me, the leaf is too dominant and detracts from the great colors and form of the butterfly.  Maybe darkening (burning) the leaf a bit, or cropping off some of the bottom would help.

Nice work!

Greg,

Thank you for your critique. I try to format my images to standard print sizes. This is formatted for a 8 x10 print. To keep aspect ratio I would be crowding the wings a bit if I cropped bottom. All sides would come in. I thought the butterfly shadow added to the image as well. Have a great day.
