really cool butterful - the background sky seems like it was burned too much and has a dirty feel to it

Good colour and detail, but the lighting is a bit flat.

Nice macro lens, and you have good dof field here. Other than that, it's just a shot of a butterfly, not particularly imaginatively composed/cropped. The background doesn't work well... perhaps if you'd got into a better angle, you could have avoided the diagonal line which cuts through the wings. What is the point of focus here? It looks like you haven't really thought about it... just fitting the whole butterfly into the frame is not the way forwards.
