Wow this is another fantastic image. The colors in this shot are so cool. It looks like it was fabricated they are so perfect and "complimentary" to each other. Your eye flows from top to bottom and back again. Awesome! You are tied for the lead in my opinion. 8.
Very nice colours. The dark background is ideal for making the subject stand out. You've got a dilemma, though - concentrate on the butterfly or include more of the flower. I think I'd have cropped a bit more of the flower out. The picture's a little unbalanced - everything's over on the left. I think a rotation about 15 degrees counter-clockwise would sort this out.
Nice focus. Beautiful composition. Colors are really brought out in this shot. The shade of purple are really good. Frame works perfect with the piece.
this is very nice, the light is nice and the detail both on the butterfly an the thistle works well...I found myself cropping a bit of the bottom when I looked at this each time but you may have wanted to keep all the shapes intact
