The second butterfly was hovering and I didn't think I would be able to freeze the wings.

It's the fact that you got two of them in the scene that I like and the fact that they are both so well placed is just fantastic.

The lighting, composition, exposure, color balance and freeze motion are all great!

My only nit-pic is a composition issue, relative to the large green leaf being so close to the edge (what I call "kissing" the frame). I think I like it better to crop off a little more from the bottom so that you cut the bottom 1/3rd of that lower leaf - cutting just below where it branches off from the main stem.

Almost forgot to mention that the background is also very nicely blurred.

Great picture! Congratulations!
