Beautiful warm background. I like the shallow DOF but my only nitpick is that the body of the butterfly looks slightly oversharpened. Great shot overall.

Comment by K3Master:
He woke from the sleep of all his kind, and crawled out onto the nearest platform. The sun shone, and the dew had already fled, so it was a good beginning for him. The right beginning. He spread his sodden wings and let the shine of the sun do its work, a small near unnoticeable mist of steam rose from them as they dried. He raised his head and closed his eyes and let the warmth beat upon him, basking in the new that was his transformation. Reveling in the wonder that was this day.

Then, moments later, a twitch of the wings to test their readiness, and with a slight jump of the blade of grass he was away. Brushing the air with wings that shouldn't be able to move it, the tiniest of breezes pushed off with those wonderous things. The slightest of shock waves felt by nothing but the dust in the air around him.

Days later, in the aftermath of the Tsunami, he settled on a lone flower among the debris, his life nearing the end of its time, never knowing the destruction his birth and life had wrought, in the ever continuing cycle of all things.
