Your post processing did great justice to the wing colors. Since the background is a little bland I might have croped some of it off.

Greetings from the Critique Club

Beautiful! Such a fitting photo for a delicate challenge.

You've captured this butterfly beautifully the colors are outstanding. Your use of negative space works well with this and the limited dof works wonderfully here.

You have a strong photo the only thing I don't like is your choice of backgrounds. You should have attempted to move the butterfly off the pavement and used either a floral background or a plain on.

Anyhow it's a very beautiful butterfly.

How classic. Especially for Delicate. If I were the only voter this would have been a ribbon.

Wow. the brilliant patterns and colors of the butterfly are amazing. I believe this photo is composed a bit too simply. Good job with not centering the subject!

Great shot, I like the way the rule of thirds is used here. I don't think it would have been as good had you centered the butterfly.

Oh my goodness, is that butterfly dead? Well the picture is good. Your butterfly idea is awesome. I just wish the butterfly wasn't dead.
