I thought this was pretty with the conglomeration of items. lol is the butterfly the "hope" part? Should have thrown in the crystal ball and made some "predictions" lol

Not sure what's going on with that glass butterfly, it kinda distracts me from the numbers a bit.

This is very outstanding. I just saw it again in this thread.

I can see that I gave it a 7 during voting way back then - seems like ages ago.

Ahhhhh........Barry, my optimism stems from feeling like I've been knocking myself over the head with a sledgehammer in challenges lately! The ones that I felt would do really well, have bombed horribly and been very disappointing, getting cut up in the comments, so I figured I may as well expect the same score with this one as well! *grin* It's easier to fall from one stair height in expectation, then 10! :) Thank you for your boost in comments! It's well appreciated!

You ought to keep making predictions like that. Seemed to work. Wow, a 3rd Personal Best! How exciting is that? I love how the water looks like it is leaping out of the glass. What a great catch! This is stuff I am not gonna touch - too hard lol. Way to go with this accomplishment!

I like the look of the water and the splash. I'm just not sure about the lemon. I feel it should be sharper.
