Barb, the antenea pointing forward make this image different in my opinion. I love the colors and the BG suits it well.

HI Barb,

Nicely done - very nice sharpness on the subject and isolated quite well from the background. I do find the composition a bit "top heavy" and would prefer to see a little more room above the butterfly and a little less below (but that's purely a personal preference issue).

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad
