Good detail in the butterfly and its set off nicely against the purple and green background.  An eye catching composition.  Well done. devil

A very dramatic look at this bf, Yun, with the black and almost white bf set off by the purple Agapanthus.  Getting the bf with the leading edges of its wings aligned with the change from flowers to stems adds well to the drama.

This is very beautiful.  You nailed the focus and composition.  As I look at it a little longer, I wonder if the color balance is a little too cool.  With all the blue of the flowers I'm imaging that the insect could really jump out if it were warmed up just a bit.
