Nature makes all her creations unique... Good composition, interesting placement of the insect. The crop works, but I think it'd be just as good in 3:2. There's a slight flaring or something from the lens that you could clone away in a finished version though.

The contrast between the hard wires and the softness of the lines on the butterfly wings is very interresting. One of my preferred shot. -9

Balancing act on a wire is a great close-up but it is the lighting that stands out and makes the photo better than average. Nicely done.
