I really like the bokeh in this image, good choice of aperture, it clearly sets your subject apart from the background.
Other than cropping like the others have suggested[To give greater impact of the delicate nature of your subject(s)], the magenta in the petals of the flower appears a little over saturated. |

As I study the image my eye naturally wants to search out all the fine details in the butterfly.
The light does seem a little bright on the wings of the butterfly, probably something to do with the iridescent nature of the color on its wings. Love that orange though its so rich.

I would be careful of cropping, if you must I would only tighten the crop to the petals a little(but in all honesty I would leave it like it is. I find the petals add context and add to the delicate 'feel' of the image, otherwise if you square crop to just the center it would change the entire feel of the image as it would look a little more alien or foreign and possibly be a bit more off-putting. |

I swear I was born too late in history! Nostalgia is what impacts me most when I see this old barn, from the shakes on the roof to the sawbucks and what even looks like old split rail fence this just tells of a time long since past. There's a story here with depth because of the history. What a great subject!
No cropping could make this better as it was shot, though if I could I would crop out that small bit of driveway in the bottom right...but that removes too much of the bottom and side of your image so the next best thing is to re-compose the shot otherwise your composition is good(perhaps a little more to the right to show the more interesting side of the barn with the doors?) the barn is clearly the subject of the image and the fencing, logs, and sawbucks all add to the story.
Looks like this was taken when the sun was high in the sky which is making the color a little flat, maybe add a little contrast?(this has a dual effect to define more of the details, like the stains in the pine wood grain, and add a little saturation).
With the sun being high and bright, I'm guessing, that's what you were fighting with to bring back detail/color which caused the halo around the tree's? I'm guessing, again, you were using the luminosity slider for blue to help pull out that color and detail, try dropping a grad filter over the sky and dropping the exposure a hair, cool it down a touch, use a little dehaze and drop the highlights see how that helps before using the global sliders and if you still think it needs work try the brush tool. After all that, then I would use the luminosity slider but only a little so as not to cause that halo effect.
There appears to be a smear in the upper right corner of the image, either that or an odd cloud, perhaps its just myself, but I find my eye oddly distracted by it.
