The butterfly looks almost robotic, in that the fuzz on its body is so sharply focused and crisp that it looks metallic. What really makes this pictures is the odd focusing of it.
With the head and eyes in focus, along with the wings, and some of the flower stuff in the middle, the picture focuses really well on the oddly-shaped things in the picture. What I really think adds to this picture is how the front and back petals are out of focused, so they just sort of glow yellow, and how the antennae are out of focus, except in such a way that it looks like they're vibrating.
A really up-close-and-personal photograph, extremely well executed. Fantastic job.
A few suggestions for it;
Watch your levels and curves, it is flat in tone and luminosity, you want your highlights and color to have some punch, adjust that to give the shot some much needed impact. It doesn't need much.
The eye of the Butterfly is odd looking, it almost looks like overuse of noise reduction software kind of softness, but it could be also that is how it appeared, just caught my attention.
Focus is nice, dig that shallow depth of field, it really works well here.
Honestly, it is good, just give it some much needed contrast and watch it go "BAM!"
