needs more depth of field, the soft focus is confusing, my eye keeps going down to the yellow flower.

You caught the flower very well. I would rather have seen the focal plane back more on the wings, but these are difficult shots to fine tune. Nice job.

I would have liked this shot a whole lot better if the head of the butterfly was in focus.
