The separation of the forewings from the hindwings is an unusual posture, and interesting. The bold two-tone magenta of the flower petals give a strong artsy feel to the picture. I can see this very large in a public place.

Definitely an abstract, Cheryl. I'll ditto Buck's comment about seeing this as a very large print.

Interesting composition and colors. Whew does that flower pop! Nice sharp focus on the wing tips. Unusual but it works. Nicely done.

Cheryl:
Unusual POV for butterfly shot but boy the effects are fabulous with artsy mood. Love this.
