Ah the elusive amFLYbian a distant cousin to his amphibian brothers. Only seen when mating season arrives they emerge from the cocoon shallows with their large flashy, colorful wings and hop/fly to attract a female mate whose wings are much smaller and a dull brown. O.K. you got my imagination flying with this one:-) While it is not a known mythical beast it is creative....and who knows, maybe I am wrong in that the Greeks created plenty of crazy and offbeat creatures to populate their myths. Focus and colors are great. Blending on the butterfly wing could have been better - there is a slight halo on the left wing (selecting the edge and feathering to avoid hard edge and then the clone tool would have taken care of that). The reflection of the butterfly wing is too solid (?) and not glassy (look at the reflection of the throat of the frog to see what I mean). I do think the composition would be stronger and more appealing if you pulled back and showed us the full wings and back legs rather than clipping them as done here. I believe the next thing I have to say will be meet with a "And Oh MY Do you have to be so picky it is a created creature for crying out loud!" But I CAN'T help but think scientifically here (hmmm the irony of the thought) - the placement of the wings is too high and doesn't offer balance that a mid-body placement would to help this poor creature stay aloft without tipping over.

I'd've thought the wings should have been further down its back 'round the point of the centre of gravity. But that's the only criticism I can think of. It works very nicely and make me chuckle.
