It is not difficult to understand why you won this contest With this lovely digital painting Cleo. The butterfly is so life like, and if it had not been for the background, it could almost go for a photo. A background I like very much because of the colors you used and the fine textures. I also like how the light seems to fall on the butterfly and the white Bloom.

I also like very much the delicate and Limited color pallet. The butterfly and the plant is done paying very good attention to details, and you have used high lights in a very effective way.

The format and framing is Perfect, and the butterfly has got a very good placement on the canvas. This of course makes for a good and well balanced composition. Indeed a beautiful and well done digital painting.

The texture and pattern of the butterfly look so realistic. The fine details along the wings is impressive. I like how well you created the colors inside the spots on the lower wing.

With fine skill in digital art and handling of the medium, you have created a painting which is semi-abstract in its composition. The harmony of colors and atmospheric light play a supporting role. Thanks for sharing!

When I first looked at this painting, I thought it was a photo!!! I like that you blurred the background so people would pay more attention to the butterfly, and not a lot to the things behind it. I like the colors that you choose for the wings. The green is a good composition for the white and brown on the wings! Lovely brush strokes too! I think that you did the butterfly perfectly. I see a possible winner here! Great job!!!!!

A beautiful painting. I like the way you show much finer detail in the butterfly than in its surroundings. Nicely composed with a great color palette.

Oh this is a stunning digital art. Your brush strokes so beautifully created with good blending and shading of colors. A good visual impact.....the whites of the butterfly and flower are stunning against you soft background. An awesome work for the Little but Big Art Contest and a good contender. Good luck! An incredible artistic piece with outstanding details. Thanks for sharing!

A beautiful painting of the delicate butterfly. Excellent details on the wings and very nice lines for the legs and face. Awesome drawing for the flower and greenery.
Very good point of view and a lovely entry for the contest.
