The white flowers were a little blown out in the second image, so I used
a bit of trickery as well as a bit of negative exposure compensation to
give them some texture. Boosting the shadows ruined the effect of my
other corrections so I decided to post as is.

Very nice!
At first I didn't even noticed the butterfly not having the sharpest
focus.
But given the focus being on the daisies, you can call it
"Daisies' Monarchy".

I like the composition of the first one much more than that of the 2nd
one. Besides, the shadow potions of second one (including the
butterfly itself) look a bit dark on my monitor.
I wonder if a "fill-in" (boosting shadows) would help it shining more.
Cheers,
Igor
