I like everyting about it except it seems to be a bit noisy. I'll trade you the rain for all the snow we got.

nice shot, and a lil noisy like windrider said.

It looks a tad bit on the dark side.

Edited the size of your picture down to 600 px on the longest side for you to comply with the forum rules. For future pictures feel free to post a link to a larger size. Thanks!

I agree with what's been said about the noise, but I like the composition. Overall, nice shot.

A very nice shot, i like the crop and the contrasts between the butterfly and the white flowers.

Did you do any postprocessing like contrast and color balance ?
