I really like the image. It's warm & pleasing. First thought was; yeah, but that's not Grunge. Yet as I look at this and take in the details and the essence of what and where this is......'round the corner alongside then in the back. Real. I hope it's not being overlooked, it's really good. 8

Hmm. Thanks Anita, just noticed this going back thru and looking at the images.

I guess what I was thinking was driven by the size of the insect being photographed? Often, I comment on first impressions, sometimes probably not the best way to do it, but hey, nobody's perfect. :-)

Nice color and composition, but not feeling grunge here.

The blue on that bike really jumps out! I like the whimsy title.

One of my top picks this challenge. The color and level of detail here are amazing, and there's a rich sense of visual depth. My ONLY nit is that the eye of the butterfly--which is the natural focal point for the composition--appears a smidge out of focus on my desktop monitor. A wee bit of selective sharpening might clear that up. But it hasn't impacted my score today.

Nice to see a butterfly. They've been scarce in my neck of the woods this summer. Well captured here.
