Good composition and colours, unfortunately either you or the camera have focussed on the flower (daisy?) petals, in preference to focussing on the butterflies eyes or wings! Use of a smaller aperture, say f16, would have increased the depth of field and may have resolved this problem but I don't know whether the Optio L70 utilises such small apertures. However, I do appreciate how fast these creatures move, as soon as you decide to photograph them; one of those nasty empirical laws of reality!
