Gorgeous, Yun. Love the floral perch, and the butterfly is perfectly captured.

Hey Yun,
The detail in the BF and the perch is excellent, the colors are sweet and that rock makes for an interesting BG.
What's not to like about this image ?

Man !

Very assured handling, Yun, with vivid colour and a fine sense of the textures of the wings.
