Do you have a butterfly garden, I think all of ours died 2 months ago. Wonderful capture. Very nice delicate colors.

Gorgeous girl.

The whites of her eye lack detail though - the lines and shading that we all have - makes it look a bit overdone.

Interesting effort here - the eyes seem a bit overdone to me - too white in the whites. Also, not sure if it real or not, but the skin looks a little oversmoothed.

I know portraits are not your comfort zone and I think you did a really nice job with the lighting and the tones and colors. Does this mean I have to try some portraits now?!

Catherine - really nice image - very good details and realistic colors. The composition with the butterfly hanging from the flower really works well. Nice Work!
