I need to enter one of these shots in our camera club's monthly contest Monday night...and the theme this month is butterflies. But I can't decide, so I was hoping you folks might steer me in the right direction. :D

# 1 is my favourite too - I also agree about cropping a little from the bottom.

Great shots :)
Well done.

#1 has my vote. It is the most colorful and vibrant. The lighter colored butterfly just stands out more than the rest of the dark ones.
