Well done! Perfectly sharpened and excellent detail. The colors are a little bland on my monitor, but they probably are what they are.

Philip - from specimens of the this butterfly I have seen, I thinkthecolorisabout right. They don't have the brightest color.
This butterfly always looks backwards to me. I suspect that it is the tail but it always gets my attention rather than the head.
I'mh ard pressed to make suggestions on this image. It really doesn't grab my attention but it is a good, solid shot. I think it may be that it looks a bit static, with butterfly just sitting there rather than having any implied motion or activity.
Thanks for posting.

Very nice BF shot. The tail is designed to fool predators and the bf can escape with a slightly damaged tail. Better damaged that dead.
