I'm pretty happy with the picture. I like the way the colors/clarity came out, but I'm wondering about the composition? Do you think it would have been better from a different angle? What do you think? Specifically, does the flower behind the butterfly detract to much from it?

Nice butterfly. What bothers me is the large white area in the photo and the right side of the picture is not helping much. I would crop it quite a bit to portrait orientation and just include what looks appropriate to accentuate the butterfly and flower ... the flower behind doesn't bother me.
