Bugs don't make for very good gives. =[ I don't think the butterfly stands out enough from the background for this type of shot. |

This image makes me sad. It has such incredible potential that was not realized because of technical flaws. Most everything in the BG is good but the main subject is oversharpened, improperly focused and poorly color processed. It was ruined as a result.
Since this is advanced rules here is something you can do to improve it. It will not correct the overall focus but will help. Duplicate a flattened image before you sharpen, then sharpen the duplicate layer exactly the way you have here. Then add a layer mask to the sharpened layer and paint with a feathered black brush until you back off the oversharpening of the butterfly(moth?) enough to be acceptable. |

I predict 5th place. If I'm wrong, I'll eat that bug. :) |

Hm. Scientific name refers to Morpho, the god of dreams. I had to look it up. Neat concept. |
