Good job with creating a slight collage with your photos, almost like something from a nature book. The contrast balances out just fine, and the natural way you kept the photographs looks great, without any need for editing. I think photos like these that demonstrate characteristics of creatures should be as realistic as possible.

Comment from Gail Ross
Nature's art. The underside of the wing would make a beautiful rug. I love how the blue on the back of the wing gradually fades from dark blue to sky blue. As always, your lighting and focus are perfect.

Very sharp detail. Interesting to have both views side by side. My only criticism is that this seems to be less artistic and more like what would go well in a scientific book.

I apologize for coming off so dismissive and negative. This is an accomplishment, finding 2 such good examples of the same butterfly.

Wow, the two sides look completely different. The open side has such beautiful colors and the closed side has very unique patterns. You did a great job with these two photos and combining them :) Thanks for sharing this creative piece :)
