Very nice image and the brown adds color to the pallet as well as interesting texture.

Very nice. You might try a non-proportional crop that would not put the butterfly too close to the edge.

I think it looks great just the way it is. Considering the position of the dried flowers and their muted colors, I don't think they draw attention away from the butterfly at all. I know my eyes went directly to the butterfly as soon as I saw it. Using the rule of thirds, it is very close just the way you have it. If I were to crop anything, I might just lose a VERY small slice of the background from the top and right side, but there is no need to even do that. Nice shot!

I was walking in a local small nature reserve and only saw this one butterfly. It took for 45 minutes to try and get a decent sharp image...this is the best one I got but am really pleased with it as I don't have a high success rate with butterflies...shame about the dried flowers but if I cropped them out, I think the butterfly would be too close to the edge and would lose that "nature" feel.


Very nice, Grace98

Crop anyway. You can leave a little of the dried flower in.
