Perched on a dying daisy flower this butterfly seems to have been taking a rest from feeding on its favourite food of grasses.

I really like the soft, earth tones colors, Ian, and the supporting grasses. The dried daisy made a great perch as well given the overall tones and companion grasses. Lovely image.

Ian, a really interesting image which is also beautiful because of color, patterns, atmosphere. It has a dreamy and somewhat rustic feel. The background is particularly effective. Good work!

I like the BG, the colours and the composition. To my eye though, the head is not in focus, which is a shame. Nice one apart from that.
Grt, Ingrid.

The combination of colors here is great, both warm and gentle. I too wish the bf's head was sharp.
