Looks like the lighting is more from the side then the back, but still a beautiful photo. I love the detail you have captured.

what a long tongue you have she said....

backgrounds a little noisy, and the white on the bottom right is distracting, but hey, it's hard to make butterfly go where you want it too huh?
nice photo,
i hope you do very well!

Nice closeup with good lighting. But the shot does look like it's been oversharpened a bit and maybe enlarged as well. After the challenge, you might want to select just the background and blur it a little to reduce the noise.
