Hi @Anais22869299w83d,

The depth of field for the first photo was too shallow. It comes across that the entire head of the butterfly was the subject. Therefore, focus should include the antenna in the background.

The second file has a white balance issue - pink color cast.

Color fringing on the edge.

Too much of the third file is out of focus

The fourth file is not completely in focus. It also has chromatic noise as blotches of colors in the background. 

You need to zoom in on the photos at between 100 and 200% to see the issues. 

I do not know if you'll find this information useful to help you understand what to look for in your photos before submitting. Click on each of the links in the list to get more details on the subject.

Best wishes

Focus seems to be the primary issue in all of these; either the depth of field is too narrow, leaving part of the subject out of focus, or there was subject / camera motion, causing all of it to be out of focus.

Insect photography is very challenging.  Small things usually are.  The margin for error is great.  You need to find that Goldilocks moment where lighting, background, depth-of-field and focus all meet and work as one.
