Great depth of field management. I like the light and shadow. Beautiful species.

Very nice light on the butterfly and flower. I like the angle of view. I don't know if you like to alter your work-if it was mine (I wish!), I'd clone out the oof stem and partial blossom in the upper left, then maybe crop in a little closer-perhaps also eliminating the leaves in the bottom left. I don't know if that will work for you-all a matter of personal taste.

Thanks, Cynthia. All of those edits crossed my mind, but none of those distractions seem too egregious for me, here. Like you said, “personal taste”. If I was going to hang it on a wall, or try to sell it as a greeting card, I might edit as suggested.

Good light,
Craig
