Number 2 for me, I like colour, but in this case I think the mono treatment is very effective

Sorry guys but I prefer the first shot, I like the contrasting colours.

I prefer the first too - something about it - the vibrancy in the little bit of movement you've caught with the very slight wing blur - I love that. It is a shame it does blend slightly with the background, but I'm sure a moment in photoshop could fix that a little at least.

Gotta be #1, the movement and the colour. Well done on the exposure, with a mainly black subject.

No 1 for me too, you captured movement, and the contrasting red and black work so well together

Thanks guys Really interesting to hear who prefers which one and why, I think no1 is my favourite, a bit different from the normal butterfly shots.
