Biraj,
Welcome to IndiaWilds. Few points to keep in mind. You can improve the image

The saturation needs to be brought down. You can see that the leaf has become much more green than actual and you can also find that the wings of the butterfly has become green too. This can be easily fixed when you reprocess your image.

It is good that you are trying to frame the butterfly with the leaf. However, the wing tips are touching the leaf outline. It appears to constrain the butterfly.

When you are clicking macro subjects try to keep in mind the plane of focus. If the head is not in the plane of focus, then the shallow depth of field would through it completely out of focus. So try to move around and look for the best angle.
