i love the background bokeh here, expecially the colors and shapes... i cant put my finger on it but there is something that bothers me visually in the photo. Maybe its my subconcious reaction to the purple (i hate purple btw), i dunno... its a nice photo. Maybe a bit more contrast between the butterflies and the flower/background could improve it.

Comment by nico_blue:
i think the background in this one is a bit too distracting and you have a few hot spots on the purple flower. But you certainly captured the butterfly well, maybe a closer crop will work better....

A different idea for a photo and yet I think it could have been executed better. Your photo seems a little too busy and more like a 'happy snap' rather than a well thought out and well composed photographic work of art.

Originally posted by HAPPYphoto: I love it. Don't any of you see the irony in this picture? Americans, we who are in a constant search for beauty, are slowly destroying the world's greatest; Trading it in for natural resources which shall last us 10 small years. After that, these spots which have had so much life, energy, and above all, beauty, will become nothing more then a sarrowfull memory of what it once was. This picture, my friends, is the epitomy of beauty in our society of oblivion.

Thank you.

I thought it was a beautiful example of this type of pollution -- clearly-defined at maximum extension before dissipating in the wind, and not some wispy brown fog but really BLACK soot shooting out at high speed.

Plus, there is an element of sarcasm, as in the person who might be sitting at that vantage point saying "Now, isn't that just beautiful?"

Dave Ross once proposed a simple engineering change which could bring about improved emissions-controls almost overnight -- simply mount the exhaust pipes in the front of the truck.
