Nice colors! I think you should make the ball in the senter a little bit softer, al the rest is great!

First i didn't recognized the butterfly within the bubble... i think it would be better if it wouldn`t shine so bright ... just to see more^^

Few things to say about this one.
Mostly I'm willing to bet that if you took the entire orb/butterfly thing out for a minute and looked at it; you would love it. That is the main area of focus of your piece and it is also the most problematic right now. Your losing almost all of the information of your butterfly by blowing out the exposure with that giant hot spot. Also, had that light been natural you would be able to see it reflected in the water as well as shadows being cast from it. But, that couldn't be natural based on the other lighting from your scene so that causes some major issues. If anything at all the light would come into the caverns entrance, bounce off of the waters reflective surface and highlight the bottom of your orb/butterfly a little bit. You would also get a little brightness on the top of it from the light coming in. The midsection of your butterfly would be a little dark because there is no light coming from that side at all. I think if you worked on it with that all that in mind you would come up with a great piece because it certainly has the potential to be just that.
