For me, nice enough butterfly on a pleasing background. The original may be sharp enough, and the colors work well together. Try different crops, though.

It might just be me, but this photo seems to be asking for a square crop, with the twig coming in from the bottom left corner.

There's room to outcrop a 'triangle' composition. Nobody rarely ever uses the 'triangle' rule of composition anymore.

You've got two great elements in the shot... a very well focused, attractive butterfly, and a nice smooth background with interesting contours of green, white and black. Still, IMHO something's missing - it seems too simple - and I think another twig or two creating a succession of depths, or something running front-to-back, may have lifted the picture a notch or two.

Cheers,
Tony

For me the twig seems to slice the frame in two. As we can't see the source of the twig, its importance is diminished. Hence crop from the bottom for a more harmonious composition.
