I thought this was so exquisite and assumed it would not do well. I gave you the 10 because I like the image a lot and think it's very inspired and emotive. I also gave you the 10 because I figured this photo is so un-dpc-esque that you be voted down for doing something out of the box. I like to encourage out of the box behavior. :o)

Such interesting things to study and look at here. Photographed so cleanly. I like it, and keep looking at it, and coming back to it, but I can't really say why. I guess it's just kind of fascinating.

Yikes, beautiful... awesome use of the effect. Those delicate little foliage tendrils kind of echo the butterfly parts.
