What a beautiful photo! I've never seen so many butterflies cuddled up like this. I like the dark background as it brings out the warm orange of the butterflies. The blur to the ones in flight gives a good effect - I sense a feeling of movement rather than just hanging in space as a faster shutter speed would have given. Well done and happy new year!
