Nice composition, but to me, the processing is too harsh.

Nice graphic look to this. I hope you'll tell us how you did the reflection!

Beautiful colors and focus. Try this for composition and see what you think: crop out everything to the right of the rightmost stalk and its leaves, and crop out enough of the bottom to leave it at a 3:2 aspect ratio (somewhere up the out-of-of-focus stalk coming up from the bottom and bending to the left.)

The current composition has the butterfly in the center. Centered compositions invite the viewer to compare the two halves. In this case, it's interesting, pretty purple flowers on the left to not much on the left. Vertically, it's again those flowers to not much of interest on the bottom.

The "rule" of thirds is intended to help people get their subjects out of the middle. Putting the subject exactly on the 1/3 lines isn't important, but getting out of the middle often is, and it seems that way to me for this shot. The other advantage is that it leaves the butterfly larger in the shot, allowing the viewer to appreciate the details.

I still love this shot, Deb. That eye hanging out in all the white, the big, sharp eyes. Even the fact his pupils are different because of different amounts of light.

Hey, I like the crazy angle! The uneven border of the building is very cool, too.
