this is very nice, the light is nice and the detail both on the butterfly an the thistle works well...I found myself cropping a bit of the bottom when I looked at this each time but you may have wanted to keep all the shapes intact

Beautiful, actually like the flower better than the moth, but the combo is very nice.

Good one. I especially like the way the butterfly is being highlighted against that black background. Very nice.

Comment by zeuszen:
I can't help but love this superbly solemn and dignified image. The inclusive perspective is suggestive of the composition, making apt and sensitive use of the natural lay of the land. I feel, however, that the horizontal space availble above stones could more than what it is to balance the flat plain and the slope beneath them.

I'd also wish for a crisper focus, even an outright soft one, at that. I suspect that the shot may have been taken hand-held, without tripod and subsequently sharpened (?).

Nevertheless, this photo contains so much more than what the topic asked for. It documents part of the human condition and places (or finds) in a landscape that could be called anywhere.

The irregular, yet care-ful placement of the stones encourages a count.
