Hello Harm,
You managed to catch in very moment and from here photo is more attractive. I like composition, maybe light is too poor.

Hello Harm,
I've never seen these butterflies but your picture is - as always - great. Perfectly composed, the only one thing not perfect are colours - picture seems to be a little bit dark.
