Here from ProjectComment !
The Good:
First off, this is quite and impressive capture! Butterflies, the little stinkers, never hold still. It can get to be quite frustrating, I know. That you where able to get this lucky shot is awesome! The colors of his or her wings are really cool and it focus well so they are clear. The composition is nice. The pretty butterfly on the dying flowers is a good contrast and tells a story of lie a death. I love that part of the photo!
The Bad:
The first bad thing was the focus. It only focused on the wings so the body slightly disappears into the background. If you couldn't get it to focus right, try lowering the camera a little. Taking it from a lower and different angle will help the camera focus and not change the personality of the photo. If you want to try even more, try getting it to focus on the branch.
Second, the back ground coloring. I would try to edit it and make the colors pop just a tiny bit more. Not much, because over saturating it would take away the natural look of the photo and you don't want to do that. Β Also, if you where to do so, it would intensify the color in the wings and really make the colors pop!

I thought the dying flowers added a good touch too

Ah yeah, I noticed that the focus wasn't that well. I took this on my Note 4 which doesn't have the best camera but next time I'll have a better camera with me!

First, I need to suggest a correction: in the category , there is a subcategory named , which you should use instead of once the focus of this art piece is the butterfly. Second, did you use or do you have intention to use any editing technique on this picture? Third: HOLY SHIT, HOW DID YOU GOT THIS IN SUCH A PERFECT MOMENT? My best hit was a chamaleon and it wasn't that close. The timing could not possibly be any better, the shadows in the wings make a heaven's work for it. There's something bearing the concept of "unbelievable" in the way the insect stands on the plant, making it both pleasant and curious to keep looking at. Good work ^^

Oh I put it in "Other" by mistake so thank you for pointing that out! I didn't use any editing on this other than making the picture a little brighter on my phone's options cx

Thank you so much! Yeah haha my luck with pictures isn't really that great so it surprised me when this came out the way I had hoped!

Hello from project comment First off I most say that this is a really good photo here you got really lucky to often it is inpossible to capture such image a moment in time were the rest of the world lays quiet in awe of the preciousness of it all.the lighting is perfectly balan ed in this the butterfly's strikingcolors stand out against the sharp green background the flower bends under its pressure so delightful and fagile one.can not put to word the Majesty of something as this perhaps if we could see more of the soundings we might get a better grasp of the momment but this is rather a zen photo taken without a moments hesitation seizing the momment as it is with out over thinking which makes its charm even stronger and its meaning pure and wholesome.
