Great focus.. love how you can see the little scales on the wing! I opened this up in PS and tried duplicating the bgd and changing the layer to soft light which fixed the butterfly, then made another layer and kept just the ground, and changed that layer to multiply. It was a bit overdone, but you could play with the opacities. Just an idea. Great job!

Great focus point, love the blurred background. Would like to see a much harder sharp on the detail of the in focus tufts. Maroon/Red/Brown/Dusty background would be a perfect addition to this composition. Agree that a closer crop would emphasize the feather.

Current image likely to suffer at the hands of DPC voters ending at a 4-5.

Hard to be hungry after looking at the mouse image, but this is really yummy looking! Love the texture. Wih you had used a double stuff just to add some more white to the sandwich.

OY! Memories of the stench left behind after discovering one of these in a bottle. Looks like an archaeological dig. Excellent focus and finish to give a documentary feel to the corpse!

Great pattern. Coloration change adds a lot to this item. Wonder what would happen with a white point chosen at the lightest of the grey? A very narrow tall crop would really punctuate the pattern's variation.

What a great capture. Strong focus. Beautiful detail in the wing. I think a square crop would have done more to entice an extra point if this was a DPC voted challenge. Healthy burn/dodge ala Heida (on the gravel) would add a huge amount of interest to the whole.
