This is a beautiful composition. I love the way you muted the background to make the butterfly the star of the scene. Congratulations on your win in the contest. It is deserving. I tried to email my congrats but your name is not listed in the email list.

Absolutely stunning. No wonder it was a winner. The composition is PERFECTO! The colors are soft and muted which makes the butterfly look graceful and delicate. Great detail, too. Love it, Karen.

A beautiful specimen alright. I like the cropping and the fabulous colors. The butterfly is meticulously sharp from the head through the wing tips. Best of luck in the contest.
