I thought that this was a peacock butterly when I saw the thumbnail. Those eyes are mesmerising and the colours electrifying.

I wonder if the composition would be improved by shaving a bit off the top where there is less going on?

I thought the same thing Clive but in the high resolution version you can see another Greenie in the upper right corner, kind of like a blue shadow figure. It does not show up in the web version as much.

Got to go with Mike on this, would make a great T-shirt. Great creativity and those colours are awesome.
