    That does look like one incredible place. Wow! What a variety of butterflies. You certainly got some pics of the more colorful ones. As far as advice, I would say that you need to watch the exposure. All of the images are overexposed, but they are not overexposed by much. Some adjustments in your photo editor can fix that rather easily especially if you shot these images in RAW format.

    The last three have the most potential as you framed the butterfly well in a natural environment. If you dialed back the power on your flash about 1/2 stop or a full stop or adjusted the position of the flash so that it is not facing directly at the subject, these might have come out better exposed. The last three though already have nice composition.

    Looking forward to more posts and welcome.
