Hi Martin,
This is quite an attractive composition with the colourful butterfly in combination with the bright reds and yellows from the blossoms of the plant, technically satisfying with the main subject being fully sharp and well focused. With a suitable frame you might have drawn justified attention to it.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing this lovely picture with us,
Goran

Hi Martin,
Beautiful shot, with excellent detail and brilliant colour rendition. I find the red bloom on the right quite distracting because it tends to draw the eye from the main subject. IMMO, it would improve the composition of your otherwise excellent shot if you were to crop it out.
tfs and keep it up
