Description
We haven't had very many medium and large butterflies in the area since the floods 13 months ago [except Monarchs and Swallowtails]... but the diminutive skippers seem to have bounced back.Photographed in an open field near our house... evening light.

Overall nicely done, a little harsh on the contrast in areas but still a good shot. The noise in the background bothers me a tad, I would run that through some noise reduction and layer mask and paint the areas of detail back in with a brush on the butterfly.
Nice depth, focus, exposure, well done as far as that goes. I really like the sense of light in this shot, really adds nice atmosphere. Good choice of an angle as well.
Over all I would say it is pretty solid shot, not much you can especially do to better it other than what I suggested.

Thanks for the Critique John... I really appreciate it!!! We left for Buenos Aires an hour after I posted this shot and have just returned or I would have responded much quicker. Your comments are quite helpful and I'm also going to check out The Topaz program that was discussed in the comments re your Critique.

"run that through some noise reduction and layer mask and paint the areas of detail back in with a brush on the butterfly."
Or use Topaz DeNoise, barely any detail loss from that
