A beautiful butterfly with soft, muted colours, perched on a very complimentary flower and BG.
Personally, I'd remove the bits of cobwebs that don't add anything, but draw my eye.
Very nice work!

Hi Yun,
The lycaenid is placed perfectly to take advantage of the darker BG elements. Also, this is a very simple composition with no distracting items in the scene. The light edges of the wings could be toned down slightly along the top edge as my only suggestion. Otherwise, a very fine image...........................Jim

Beautiful image, Yun. Wonderful soft blue color, and a perfect perch for the Blue. I like the bit of blue in the LRC. Might be worth trying to bring out a little blue in other areas in the bg.

The color match between the bf and the flower is a special aspect of this view, Yun. Love the gentle back light and the blue subject against green background.
