Great image. Very sharp at the eye. Colors of the BG and petals are pleasing. Good job.

Sandy:
Good sharp details and nice BG. Lovely to be able to see the abdomen through the clear wings.

This is an intriguing image. I'm glad I spent the time to look at it awhile longer.

Where do you find this stuff?! I've never seen a butterfly like that - amazing. And I love the yellow tips on the antenae.

I looks like there may be a slight halo around the wings, but otherwise this is a masterpiece. The crisp image against a velvetty smooth background makes this a winner. The color combo is very pleasing too. Too cool :cool:
