Beautiful shot Maggie

Good background but not too sure about the square comp

I agree .I like square jobbies but in this case maybe not.
Great pic - just the cropping.
Cheers

Has a rather phallic look to it, IMO, Maggie.

Cropping just right.

For 1000 iso on a d300 the image quality is quite exceptional ,testiment to some super processing . Shame only one antennae, otherwise great condition butterfly . I'd slice the right side a bit .
