Very nicely presented and good post processing! Colors are very good. Nice details and lines. Good contrast. lighting and exposure are good. Nicely composed in the frame.

Congrats on a fine work!

Simply lovely, helvi2.

Yes - the pose is too well captured to let get away.

I think painting the colors in and using some saturation helped. From there I don't know what all worked, except the flowing edges and diffused glow certainly helped to recreate the butterfly - and to give it such a beautiful stained glass look.

Very oriental in design and just enchanting against the black background.

WOW, great shot. i love the backround and the saturation. it sort of pops out at me. the use of colors are great. the only thing i found annoying to me was the two lines on top of the butterfly's wing, but besides that it is a great shot. nicely done

You've done a great job. The butterfly pops off that blacked out background and the colors are so vibrant! I like the angle you caught the butterfly at, very pretty.
