Very interesting image - the detail on the butterfly and spade is nice.
Seems disjointed and unbalanced to me, though..
Perhaps a fairly large CCW rotation to bring the butterfly level or even leaning left would help..don't know..

Kayes:
This is very well done - B&W BF in a black BG and contrasting white spade! Well done :toast:

I often agree with Sandy's comments . . . but not in this case (sorry Sandy!). I think the semi-mirror image of the petal and the butterfly balance the image very nicely. You must have quite a garden to attract so many beautiful butterflies.

Nicely done. I like the balance. One small nit I would cleanup the spots on the leaf.
