Wow there are a lot of butterflies in this challenge. In terms of the composition of the picture, I think there is probably a bit too much dark negative space and that detracts slightly from the butterfly, especially in the lower right-hand corner of the image. Depending on what the rest of the image looked like, maybe you could have tried putting the head of the butterfly right in the middle of the image.
On a more technical note, it looks to me as though the focus is a little bit off. It seems as though only the lower left part of the butterfly is in focus, and too shallower depth of field seems to take the rest of the butterfly out of focus from there. Given the very blurry background maybe you could have tried using the unsharp mask at a higher level.
Not enough contrast between the butterfly & the limb. Kind of tends to blend in and doesn't stand out with a WOW effect. Loved the idea of it, just think it could have been better on something more contrasting.
