good contrast between objects. The blossom looks like it's pointing up and the flower is going down. cool

Nicely done. Striking use of colour, supported by understated use of fish-eyed "cityscape" in the background.

I am left vaguely wondering just what is happening in this shot, though...

Nice capture of the butterflies and good color. I wish the focus was a little more crisp on the butterflies themselves.

Very nice arrangement of the butterflies in this picture. I also like the smooth bokeh. I would like to see a little more detail in the darker parts of two of the butterflies but overall a nice capture.

Don't know that I've ever heard that one before. ;^) Makes for an interesting image however. Overall I like the composition of this, considering the challenge of a square crop. The angle of the branch works well and having 3 items for a subject generally comes across favorably. The major disappointment with this image is the focal point is off. It appears the the petals directly over the large butterfly is in focus, the rest of the image isn't. Hard to do I know, but a deeper aperture (depending on distance from subject) may have allowed you to get the large butterfly (at a minumum) and possibly all three, in focus.

Anyway...best of luck in the challenge.
