This was taken along a butterfly trail down in sunny Singapore. I'm not please with the half hidden antennaes

but otherwise feel it is OK. What do you guys think?

It works for me, I like the curved, single stem and that the butterfly is hanging from it. Wonderful subtle variations in the green background too, nice!

(The antennaes don't bother me a bit.)

I think you have made a very beautiful image of theis butterfly. The antennae do not bother me and IMO do not detract from the image.

Very well done. I do not miss the antenae at all and I think the curved stem adds a lot to the shot. thanks for posting.

This is excellent -- you did a great job getting both wings sharp even through they're on different planes, and I love the detail and translucent quality throughout. I also like how the wing shape matches the stem shape, and find the OOF stem very unique for this type of image. Well done.
