Wow. I like the way the colors work together, how the rust makes the tips of the butterfly's wings stand out. Composition looks great too. I'd be very proud, if this were my work.

Like this shot, but think the colors of the butterfly can use a little boost.

I think this is one of the more intriguing photos I have seen posted during the 3 or 4 weeks I've been visiting this site. Definitely not your typical butterfly shot with one sitting on a flower or plant of some sort.
The constrast between the rusted metal strip on the bottom and the very weathered wood starts things off and then as the third element the butterfly for a further contrast adds interest.
I don't necessarily think the butterfly needs any tweeking. Could try it and see what you think. Some people think all butterflies have deep intense colors and simply not so. In particular a more brighly colored butterfly might take away from the overall tone.
As an observer of butterflies my first thought specifically about the butterfly is the butterfly almost looks posed. The ones I have observed seldom have the wings so that the bottom edge of the upper wings is perpendicular to the body.
Again an intriguing very nontypical shot, very interesting.
