Is this for real!!? The angle of the shot makes the butterfly look 6' tall. Beautiful "pose" and colors, and the focus is dead on. Makes me think of some sort of woodland fairy.

I would like this better with a different color background.

Nice colors, and I like the facets formed where they are stuck together. Look a little like diamonds. I think I would like it better with the top of the image cropped off.

I was thinking exactly the same thing as Ursula -- love the freckles. Like the hair too. Really cute girls.

As for the rule of thirds, it is hard to see here, but except in a rule of thirds challenge, that doesn't matter -- not meant to be seen. The benefit of the rule of thirds is good composition, and that has worked in this case.

Nice processing. Congratulation on your PB and first 6 -- the first of many I'm sure.
