You have developed a good eye for capturing your world and displaying it to us. I like the off-kelter screen. It forces me to follow the whole edge of the photo. That is pretty unusual as I almost always look inside the picture. But it works wonderfully to heighten the feeling that the butterfly is caught inside the frame. It wouldn't be so effective without a border.

this was a tough challenge and I think you approached it the same as I did in that you entered a photo to make people looking at it ask why/what/huh and not have the photo ask a question of the viewer
I liked my photo and I like yours but I think we both got that part wrong
on to the actual photo... it is great :) my only problem is the border, it's not that you used a drop shadow as I like that, it is just that the top left has no definite edge but blends with the background which screws with the 3d effect and keeps drawing my eye away from the main subject
I don't think you could have rotated it to have the mesh lineup on the side and the top at the same time so I think a 1px border around the mesh, but only just enough to lift the corner off the background (a very light gray as black would be to harsh)
If I had taken this shot it would be hanging on my wall by now :)

Oh, what a beautiful field of flowers. A fitting place for a beautiful horse to graze. Your capture of the scene is incredible.

I seem to be getting lots of comments on my photos from you so it is about time I returned the complement so I'll pick on some of your less commented on shots I hope I don't pick on them too much :)
1st off this should have scored a lot higher than a 5.1
that said, while it is a busy photo, it is the dead spaces that if removed would greatly enhance the photo. you have to much sky and grass and it over powers the main subjects as I see them
this would look better cropped in a panoramic style buy cropping the sky at the top of the cloud that touches the left hand side and cropping half the grass at the bottom (use a couple of pieces of paper against you monitor thats how I check) I think it still keeps enough of the great sky while bringing out the detail more

Seems to be a little soft and overexposed.

Love the lines that the grass creates. The dog pops off the green quite well. It's a beautiful country scene with a great perspective.

Intriguing artfulness - wish the face wasn't obscured and that there was more of a clean silhouette... But like it lots. Lovely movement.
