I really like this - they look as if they are dancing. Nice detail, colors, and comp!

Very nice image. Perfect planar position of the two butterflies allows for sharpness throughout. Well done.
These are paper kites.

This is really nice. I like the symmetry and the color balance. To improve the symmetry, I'd look at cloning out the pink flower in the lower left. A very nice image.

Your butterfly work is top notch, and this is very nice in all respects. I could see a boost in the saturation of the greens working well, though it's quite beautiful as-is.

This is very good. I don't know which aperture you used, but the subjects could maybe use just a little more depth of focus. It looks like the wings on the right drop out a little. You might try adjusting the color balance. I'd try. I might just leave it alone though This has so much going for it that I'm crazy to wish for more. Good job, great job really.
