A lovely butterfly and blossom. The combination of the two is really beautiful!

The butterfly is beautifully captured, fine composition with the flower.

I like the combination of colors-beautiful matching pinks and greens. This makes the composition so very harmonious and appealing. Really a gorgeous shot!

Great skills and smart settings to get this image freehand. Nice soft illumination of the wings. I wonder is it all ambient or u used some fill flash?

So many things are right here; great color palette, bg, beautiful and detailed subject, pretty perch, and you nailed the exposure to keep the whites looking soft, yet the darker areas look great. Great shot.

Good light,
Craig
