Very nice shot.Really love the shades of green and purple,makes a great backdrop to this attractive species.
Chris are you aware that you can post up to a maximum size of 720 pixels on the longest edge.
Not compulsory but it does help to show the images off in all their glory,especially with small subjects such as this,where fine detail is even more important.

Hi Justin,
I realise my mistake. I have been saving jpegs as 'excellent quality' so when it comes uploading to forum at 720 pixels longest side, I am prevented because image exceeds 200kb. If I select 'good balance' in photoshop, should this solve the problem?

Hi Chris,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by good balance.
The way I do it is to re-size the image to 720 pxls using Image Size.Sharpen.Then use the Save for Web command and just adjust the quality slider untill the image is below 200kb.

Hi Chris,
Really like this. The colour composition and exposure all spot on, I also would like to see it bigger.
Regards
Rob

Hi Chris
A very nice image with excellent soft colours. I would maybe prefer the butterfly and flower more to the left of the frame, or alternatively I would be tempted to crop a little from the left hand side and go for a squarer format. All question of personal taste though.
