      Beautiful, very good composition. I can also see the over sharpened effect Mike mentioned, especially on the dark background. Very good image Jason!

      Great image Jason. Looks like it was forgotten in the freezer for a while!
      (the butterfly just looks that way, I'm not implying that you put it in the freezer, in case you wondered! )
