Your border is so cool. How did you do it? When I saw this, I thought - "lemony fresh" lol. Ok that is weird but I get a spring fresh feeling when I look at this photo. Like there's a butterfly in my bright and clean white house. :) Nice shot.
Good contrast between butterfly and flower. DOF is to shallow IMO as the front wing is pretty blurry. The legs seem out of place as if the butterfly were smashed into the flower. Was it alive? Or just not fully landed yet?
