Taken at Powell Gardens in Missouri. Great opportunity to take your butterfly shots at this place. Beautiful butterflies, unfortunately, this one was the most in focus as I was holding my son the whole time while trying to take them. =)

Very interesting and colorful... though too much colors doesnt hold the image together. Also the light seems somehow bit unnatural...maybe you used some extra light sources.
Butterflies seem to be popular in this challenge. This one would be better with another background. Also you might have positioned the subject more to the left to get a better result. Nice use of soft focus and a fine pic.
