Hi from the C Club

I thought this shot was great and gave it a 9 in voting.

To be honest I do not think that there is much that could be done to improve this shot. Your background is bokeh enough to be interesting, you are sharp in the right places, the purples, which are the hardest colours to photograph and get correct are just right.

The only thing that may improve this is the butterfly and its colour. Play around with your saturation levels or curves, the selective colours may make it pop just a little more.

Very pretty. Colors are great and focus is good. A little light on sharpness.

the colors could have been more intense for my taste... feels a bit "flat"
