The subject and comp are both outstanding, Daniel. You captured a gorgeous butterfly in perfectly positioned in the frame, and the flowers are very nice complementary elements. Technically, there are some issues with the presentation as the image looks noisy and/or over sharpened.

If the composition might be said to be a touch Busy, I really don't mind that here, Daniel. I think this lovely butterfly looks fine among the orchid blooms.

Colors are great here, and despite the over sharpening, you got good detail in the wings and orchids. Perhaps do some creative cloning to eliminate the stray stems, etc?
