You've done well to capture this, I know they aren't easy. Its a nice shot. Seem to be some odd edge artefacts on the flowers to the bottom left of the butterfly though - I guess to do with the selective blurring.

Very impressive subject and photo. For the web, I'd be tempted to crop from the top and left side (maybe a little off the right too) to focus on the BF and the pretty flowers on which its perched, but that would be an alternative image. The BG in this image nicely shows the BF in its environment.

I like the setting very much. The focus on the butterfly is right on and the colors really pop. Fine image.

What a beautiful BF! Great DOF of field focus on the butterfly. I like the pose of the butterfly but I do agree with Scott's suggestion for a crop; off the left and top plus a small amount on the right. That would emphasize the butterfly and flowers more IMO. Wow, 8" wingspan is a big butterfly! Would love to see one. Great capture, Gary!
