Hi Bill;
Is that a moth or a butterfly?
Regardless--composed well. Perfect exposure and good use of depth-of-field.
Your only problem here is the background. Too bright, and unfortunately, not easy to fix in post processing.
Best bet in situations like this is to darken the background with a diffuser (or anything else that can create shade.)
Most important is to "see" problems like this in the field, where you can deal with them. Tape a small label onto the back of your camera that says, "BackgroundBackgroundBackground" just to remind you.
