I really like the overlapping triangles of the butterfly wings and the flowers in the foreground; my eyes keep tracing around them.

Well. . .since I was with you when you took this shot -- I can't deny that I know whose it is -- but I have to say: It takes my breath away! The exposure and focus are perfect! The moon adds so much beautiful drama to the photo -- and that starry fence taken with a wide angle lens was a genius touch that adds so much elegance to this photo! At first -- I was hoping to maybe enter one of my Capitol shots into this Free Study -- but now I'm so glad I didn't because I did't have one nearly this cool and beautiful! It's going straight into my favorites folder -- and it gets an unhesitating 10!

A bit crooked. And I am unsure how the title goes with the image. I see the moon, but I don't get the "stars" reference? OH, is it the FLAG? As in Stars & Stripes? If so, the flag is just not salient enough in the image. It is actually a bit blurry due to the shutter speed.

I love this. The juxtaposition between the flag, dome and moon is excellent. I like the sweep of the fence too. The texture of the clouds adds tons to it. Well composed and thought out. GOOD ONE.
