Lovely vivid colors and very well framed :)

Very nice colors and perfect frame. The square frame is a great choice.

If only you could have moved the camera up a little to avoid the green line below the branch, but that's asking too much :-) 7/6

WOW..... What a capture, Donna! I love this clean image of a butterfly with nice composition!

Great colors, and excellent composition, congrats!

Very nice and colorful background, like the pose of the butterfly. On my screen I can't see any details in the black of the wing that's a pity. To be honest you also miss some sharpness on the body and head. But nice work and good luck the next time! Regards Wendy

To me, this has almost a graphic quality because I, too, don't see detail in the black. But the color pops off the screen at you and I think you could play with this a bit and take the graphic concept a little further.

Thanks everyone for stopping by to critique and comment. . . I decided to work this up as a graphic image since I had lost most of the detail in the black because I was shooting directly into a bright background . . . hand held exposure contributed to the loss of sharpness. . .

 

Kim, I'm not sure what you mean by pushing the graphic concept further.. . .

The striking colours of the bg is very pleasing & sets off the butterfly very well. Though the details on its wings are lost, its still a beautiful image.
