Sanjay:

I like the oblique position of the butterfly; looks like its gliding and just stopped by the flower to refuel. Some might say the negative space at the top is a little too prominent but that looks okay to me. I would suggest cloning out the little leave intrusion along the top right margin.

Beautiful colors throughout, Sanjay, thanks to the nice light and bg. As nice as it is, I personally would crop some of the bg from the top.
