Agree with others on the lovely colours. I also like the framing and background blur, although I might crop a little more from the left and top, only because the body of the butterfly sits between centre and the left "rule of thirds". But this is more of a suggestion than a concern.

Thank you all - and that's something to take into consideration here, the only cropping I did was taking some off both sides to make it a 4:3 image from a 3:2

Great detail!

Haha, it does pretty well at the minimum focus distance - 0.2x magnification.
