Fabio, great detail in the eye & wing here. The soft green background compliments the BF nicely. Good work!

Lovely. The details are just right. The colors are beautiful and subtle. The composition is simple, and free of distractions. The depth of field is exactly right. And the eye is in sharp focus. Perfect.

Nice detail, colours, and perch. Very complimentary BG.
If possible, I'd move the frame up a bit so the butterfly is not in the center of the frame.
