This is a butterfly drinking cup in my backyard. I wanted to photograph the spring colors and incorporate this glass drinking cup as the focal point of the composition.

Great colors! Love the little sparkle on the rim of the glass. Very nice as is - my only suggestions, would be I would like to see this with the entire butterfly showing, and with the background a bit more out of focus. good job!
Nice contrast between subject and background, and good use of shallow DOF. The background is still distracting,maybe you could have moved to another position to get the background less obvious. 6
Out of your control but would have been really nice if you could have gotten it with a colorful butterfly drinking out of it. Maybe we will see this shot again later in the summer!
Like the contrast of the red glass and green background. Wish I could see a little more of the bottom (tip of the butterfly's bottom right wing cropped off). Nice job! =-) 7
I'd have liked more butterfly and less tree. Good color, and the green compliments the glass nicely, but I have issues with the distractions in the background.
I love the fact that you took it outside to photograph. Your focus and exposure are very good, and the shallow depth of field really brings attention to the glass. Composition is also very good -I'm jealous
An even more narrow depth of field would have helped out here, the background is still too clear and somewhat distracting from the subject of the photo. other than that the lighting, and colors look good.
