A lovely image of the butterfly resting on the flowers, nice detail in the wing structure and markings, the butterfly is positioned well in the frame with good balance. Nice colour harmony , nice work. Good luck in the contest.

Presentation and visual impact are dramatic and impressive! Color harmony is beautiful and flows easily. Highlighting and shading are perfectly applied. This beautiful piece is a great entry for the insect contest. Good luck and thanks for sharing!

This is a fine rendering of a digital buterfly painting. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours and the composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Very beautiful artwork and great contest entry. The green and purple background is abstract and the colors harmonize well with the butterfly sitting on the bunch of purple flowers. Nice details in the wings. Good luck in the contest.

A beautiful painting of this giant Swallowtail Butterfly alighted on the lilac coloured Flower head sucking nectar. Created with very skilful brushwork beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bringing this butterfly to life.

What an excellent job you have done of capturing the beauty of this swallowtail.I have photographed these,and you have done justice to the coloration and pattern of the wing's underside. Your pallet of soft colors compliments your subject.Best of luck in the contest!

What a lovely piece. Is this a "real" butterfly rendering. The colors are beautiful. I love your compositional idea. Digital art looks like so much fun. I need to learn how to do this. Thank you for sharing!
