Default A warm thought

Here's a shot from this summer (I need a little reminder of warmer times).

Exif: Panasonic FZ-28, F/5, 1/250, ISO-100.
According to the Exif data, I was shooting at 53mm, but I know that's not the case -- this was a maximum-zoom shot.

I like this shot, but I'm not thrilled with the composition -- what do you think?

I bumped up the saturation a bit in post-processing, but tried not to go too far, so I'd also like feedback on that.

Thanks.

i like the saturation ..
The composition could be pumped up a bit. my eyes are drawn to the legs of the butterfly and where it connects to the flower. I think that should be on one of the rules of 3rd markings. that tic tac toe board with the intersecting lines. i think that should go on the top right dot. if that makes since. I'm horrible at explaining my thoughts. lol

That's good - I'll play with cropping a bit to see if I can get something like that to work.
