I personally am leaning to the first, but the boheh at the right that I'm using to frame the butterfly is a bit distracting. I was wondering which you guys preferred. Any comments and critiques are also very much appreciated.

I personally like the first one best. I think it's because of the way the image flows. It really works well as a whole, whereas the second one is almost in your face about the subject.

Just my opinion though : P

I prefer the full image as well. Both seem to have a lot of green cast to them though and I think they need the white balance adjusted. I did a quick edit to adjust the white balance and a couple of other tweaks as an example. I hope you think it looks OK.

The green under the wing is obviously reflected light from the leaves now.

Exactly ;)

I like the second one better but I think it's only because the BG is distracting somewhat.
