The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Female lays eggs near, but not on, violets in late summer. If you maintain patches of native violets on your property and leave the leaf litter and wood chips as shelter for the caterpillars, chances are that you will raise the next generation of Great Spangled Fritillaries. (New Jersey Butterflies) Adults nectar on a variety of wildflowers, including this Tall Ironweed.

Terry, you really got some wonderful details in the BF. He/she is beautiful. That white oof spot right behind him is a bit of a distraction, so maybe you can remove/darken it a bit. I think maybe the oof flowers on the left side and the bright top left corner is also grabbing for attention. There is also two little specks of probably flowers right at the bottom border that you could remove/crop out if you do decide on doing further editing. You got such great details in the BF throughout, and the flower is a nice perch, this is worth doing what you can to improve this shot, in my humble opinion.
Thanks @Shirley_Freeman. I can easily make adjustments on the left side of the frame, but I’m not sure about that spot behind the butterfly. I already adjusted the brightness down quite a bit; I don’t know if I can go more, or not. I’ll have to play with it.
