In fields of gold and purple, do I fleet and feed, my dance of life fulfilled ...

I think you cropped this just right. the butterfly is still big enough to be important to the image, but small enough so that we get a sense its "dancefloor" and thus can imagine his movement as a sort of connect-the-dots. 7

Reflections on a Purple Dress
by scarbrd

Comment:
hi scarbrd, once again your wife is an excellent model, very expressive. The makeup seems overdone, but then I wonder if it suggests a story. Perhaps she is a showgirl about to go out. No, the room is too nice. She is a showgirl who has been brought back to the home of a rich gentleman. He is off in the bathroom. She has removed her kimono and is wondering if this is the right life for her. but what is so special about the kimono... perhaps it was a gift from a man who truly loved her, a poor man whom she despised for being poor, surrounded as she was with wealth. In the mirror she notices just how heavily she has been putting on makeup lately, and she realizes that she is compensating for the first signs of age. It is thoughts of aging that is making her question her priorities, her rejection of a man who truly loves her... for when her beauty fades she will have nothing, nothing at all. I'll give you a 7 for now and might bump you up later.

you showcase how the barn is blending into its environment. I don't see any purple except in the shaded part of the house, but purple is overrated. 7

I was touched that you allow me to see the entire center of the flower, and don't cut it off for some stylistic "effect". Even more, I am touched by the spilled pollen, which looks like nothing so much as tears.

Purple Cross

Nice composition. This looks like a flag with ornamental elements.

Day 1 - Suzi all cracked

I think if you took a picture of a texture and overlayed it, it would be more interesting. But you did manage to hide whatever was wrong with your picture. :)
