This one is pretty Rey, almost like a pastel. These butterflies and flowers really make one anxious for spring to get here. At least where I am. Beautiful Rey. :D

Rey,

This is a beautiful butterfly and a very pleasing composition. The out-of-focus background adds to the mood of the picture. Keep sharing your work, it is inspirational.

Great photo, nice and simple surroundings, as always sharp from your hand.

In my opinion the photo would be a bit more balanced with the butterfly just slightly lower in the frame.
