Hi Julia.
I think you made a very nice photo, with good POV and a nice plant and BG. You also did a god job adjusting levels, but some USM is missing. This must be made before resizing, but I did a very fast workshot to see what it may look like. Thanks for posting.

This is a beautiful butterfly.
Very good composition and DOF.
Some of the finer details are lost due to it being behind glass,Felipe has done a good workshop with the USM.
A great capture,well done.

Hi Julia, nice composition. The colours are great and it's a lovley looking specimen. It is a little soft in focus but good work. I've been to butterfly houses and condensation on the lens can be a bit of a problem. Well done.

Your crop is perfect - the leaf should be here in my humble opinion. Lovely example of the species as well - TFS. Tim

Julia, nicely caught and better results from new PP work. Good compo and colours. Well done, as I know they aren't too easy to get perfect. TFS.

A good macro Julia. I think it's a good idea not to crop too much as the leaf is indeed very nice. You really did a good pp-ing job but the image still is a little soft. Extramundi's WS is great. Anyway, this is a very nice picture. Well done and TFS!

I like composition of your picture Julia. POV is very good, same as sharpness and details. But I think there is too many green tones on your picture - maybe problems with white balance.

You've done well to get this final result Julia,
The humidity in these places always causes a problem. I usually sit inside for about 15/30 minutes to get the lens conditioned to the humidity, and always keep some lens cleaning tissues with me.
The bug on the leaf is a bonus, Thanks for posting
