Beautiful digital work. The pink blossoms make a perfect backdrop for the aquamarine of the butterfly. Best of luck in the contest.

Comment from Delliejr
Whenever i see photos like this after the wow i always have so many questions. what did you use, what were the settings, was there any post photo work done. the depth of field is such that everything is in focus unlike the usual blurred background. did you use a flash? this is just lovely

I'm so sorry, Delliejr. I'm afraid I can't help you with the photographic questions. I'm not a photographer, and this is a digital painting/composition, but I do thank you ever so much for the beautiful comments. I consider it quite an honor that you thought it was a photo--tells me I must be doing something right. :)

Thank you ever so much, sohail. It's possible that colors are brighter on your PC. I notice the difference of colors and brightness between my two PC's, and it drives me crazy trying to get things adjusted properly. Again, thank you!! :)

What a beautiful piece of computer artwork.

I just love the subject matter.

Gorgeous colour contrasts that have that dreamy feel to them.

I like the portrait format and composition it suits the subject well, a great contest entry.

Comment from ingi
This is beautiful.
The colors are so nice and the butterfly alone, somehow stands alone in this image.
very peaceful and good image.
This is an image a puzzle fan would love to have.

You know, I used to do that all the time--do jigsaws from my artwork. I wonder if I still have the program on my PC. I haven't thought of that in ages. lol. And you're right, this would be a toughy. Thank you so much for the great review, ingi. Very very much appreciated. :)

Comment from lynnkah
One word to fit this lovely piece, STUNNING! Looks like a painting. The colors contrast beautifully. I would say good luck in the contest but this beautiful work of art will be hard to beat.

Wonderfully crafted piece that captivates the viewer with riveting color and depth.
The purple flowers give added contrast.
