Great image. Should have cropped off the top left. Other than that it's just about perfect. Top 10 for sure.

Awesome contrast. The crop could be improved- the negative space on the top is too much.

First impression: The butterfly should have been in color. Second impression: desaturating the butterfly makes this a spectacular picture, with both selective desaturation and selective DOF giving it tremendous depth. A definite 10.

Comment by hgpayne:
I've seen several butterflies in this challenge where everything but the butterfly was desaturated. What is it they are trying to say? Here, you've left the flower with a title of "Attraction." GREAT!!! The title emphasizes the point of the photo. I could see this as a poster with the title printed across the top of the photo in that negative space (I know this is illegal for the challenge -- I'm just making a suggestion for a future print). Great DOF and nicely cropped. Maybe not a winner, but should make top 10 IMHO.

Comment by jab119:
very nice. I like the angle of the butterfly in the shot. framing/ cropping is nice also. The butterfly looks real sharp. There looks to be a few hard lines aroud the red flowers that the selection tool missed. Im sure it wil make a very nice print

Comment by Bran-O-Rama:
Beautiful photo with the butterfly in sharp focus (at least the top half). Interesting to choose the flowers to be colorized, I would've chosen the butterfly but that's what makes this photo different. Selection of the flowers under the butterfly seems a bit "loose" as parts of the background were left out when desaturating.
