Really nice to see a post from you Monica. You were missed. Leave it to an Italian to bring us a scene of "Cara mia, ti voglio bene".

Wonderful color and background.

Very nice subjects, and great background. Have you tried removing some of the top to bring the subjects off-center vertically?

Very nice Monica, crisp details and excellent detail/DOF.
I like the "straight-up" comp, and the BG really helps their wonderful colors come alive here

Very nice focus and dof. The colors and background work very well together.

Beautiful, Monica. The colors and detail are amazing. The duller background really makes the butterflies pop.

Welcome back, Monica! These two look like beautiful bookends.....except that they are vertical....and there are no books....all of which could be remedied in a Photo Art composition....just a thought! Lovely comp and color.
