I didn't intend a cram here - it just worked out that way. Hopefully it helps catch the feel of seeing this meadow brown butterfly drifting through clouds of lavender.

I think the cram at the rear does add some intrigue Ian, I can roll with it :smile:
Great details and light, like the contrasting color palette of the lavender & b-fly :toast:

I like this, Ian. The little bit of cram looks good to me. I like the way the golden BF contrasts with the purple flowers and blur. Excellent detail in the BF. :toast:

Great sharpness on the bf, Ian. The lavender adds some fine, gentle color contrast. The blurred foreground along the right edge adds a touch of mystery, but I'm on the fence about it overall....fits right in with being a self proclaimed detail nut. :wink:
