Very nice, flows together with ease. The black on the different shades of pink always works beautifully. Adding shading to the legs and the back of the wings would have added the depth and realism I'm looking for in this piece. It is a beautiful work! Congrats to you for creating a wonderful piece. -CJ

Beautiful artwork created to show the butterfly with clarity I like the mottled background and the flower. The placement of the butterfly works well. Nicely done.

Love the colors in this!!! All so bright and saturated and the pastels in the back make it pop:) Very realistic, I mistook it for a photograph. Beautiful job and good luck:)

I really like the brightness of this painting, and also all the fine textures seen in the background. It is also a truly lovely color pallet you have used on the background, and the brown and black butterfly is standing out so well from it.

The butterfly is done paying such good attention to details, and with such smooth brush strokes. Good use of high lights as well.

The format and framing is perfect, and the butterfly has got a fine placement on the canvas. A truly lovely and well done digital painting Cleo.

This is a very well done and fine creation of a butterfly on a petal. Your colour pallet is excellent, it blends well and the colours compliment each other. The butterfly is realistic and I can see it's tiny head and legs. I admire yiur skill in digital application. The details are fine and I like in particular the texture that indicates brush strokes. This gives depth and authenticity to your art work. A pleasure to review

This is a lovely composition and creative digital work.
You certainly have mastered
Digital art, painting. Lovely placement of the Lepidoptera on the leaf. Beautiful blending of colors and fine attention to details. The use of the brush strokes and palette are very well done. Pleasing to view.

A very nice painting with great attention to the detail of the butterfly. I like this perspective and think the colors look great against that background.

Nice job! I like the colors and the background shows off the reds. The details in the butterfly are excellent. I find it a little hard to envision the perspective of the leaf. I also think the butterfly should be brighter as if in the sun. But over all, nice work.

    The wings of this species are pigmented with melanistic colors, which gives the species its dull colored wings. :o)

Amazing digital artwork. I love the textures and natural colors. That bulky eye looks real. Excellent choice of contrasting background colors. Well framed and well composed.
