This is an intriguing image. I especially love the leaves and the detail you were able to achieve with them. Also the colors are eye popping and glorious. Well done!

I just love it. This is a pretty picture of this butterfly. I like the sharpness and colors. The colors stand out great. It almost looks like a 3D effect. Great Job!

Comment from avmurray


I think this is a lovely creation, but I am always a bit confused over what is what in a digital. To me this looks more like a photo, so if you don't mind me asking, are these manipulated stocks photos, or is this created from scratch ? It is anyway very striking with the vibrant colors of the flowers and the butterfly.

I like the way this is composed by filling the frame with flowers and leaves, and where the butterfly has got a nice placement. Also the format works really well.

I also like the way you introduced light into this creation by adding highlights to some of the leaves and the butterfly. I think this is beautiful, and I wish you luck with the contest.

    Thank you ever so much, Annie. No, I don't use photos. :) The background was painted in Paint Shop Pro & Twisted Brush. The butterfly came with PSP. I would have painted him myself, but I barely met the contest deadline, and I don't like to sign up and not enter something. Thank you again for the wonderful comments. :)

This is a beautiful composition. The colours are incredibly vivid and the detail is excellent. My only slight issue with this is that the butterfly tends to blend into the background a bit too much. However, apart from this, this is excellent.

This is rather amazing! I love the different tones of green and then the wonderful pop of the pink blossoms! This is something I would enlarge and frame for sure! It bring a smile to my face and a sense of serenity. Very nice work.

Comment from DigiPhotoMan


Very nice colors. Impact is high. Butterfly is positioned well in the frame. The flowers are a little bright and overpowering to the butterfly, but I do like the overall image.

I keep looking at this shot and am still trying to determine if it is a photograph or a painting! It is lovely and the colors so rich. Great job!
