Nice idea, I feel that if the line and skelly were in the top portion it would give more of a waiting to get down feel to it.

No, remain where you are.
Good photograph.
But, a good winner could have been for the Challenge Black on Black II

The expressive wait is less been pronounced for these Challenge

Sweet. Just a bit overblown on the left. And on my monitor her skin color is a bit too violet.

Hello from the CC CLub

Love the title, very nice indeed.

Your shot is on the small side. Now when you go into resizing your shot the biggest number is 720, then go down to Resolution and it will normally say 250, cut that down to 100. Then go back up to the highest number (it will have changed to a lower number) and type in your 720. You should get at least a 7x6 or higher shot.

as for your shot, I love it everything works well, a little luminance in the panes of the butterfly would have really made it pop alive. Here I just used a bit of dodge and burn,

not syaing you have to do any of this, but just a subtle hint works wonders sometimes. POV adn DOF are good a little sharpening would work wonders here too.

A lovely peaceful shot here, and I love the title, it is very fitting , well done

Greetings from Andi via the Critique Club

First Impression: Critiquing a top 20 shot can be difficult and if its the submitters highest scoring image its even harder! That said, this is a nice bright image and a very unusual situation, I've never seen 3 butterflies on a single flower before (thats worth at least 1 point)

Composition: A square crop was the way to go here, the butterflies fill the frame well.

Subject: Yup, its from above and meets the challenge well, flowers and butterflies might be seen as cliche at dpc but are most often well received. Kudos for an 'of the moment' shot.

Technical: The backgound is a little noisy (ISO 1600 would cause that) and I'd prefer a little more definition on the butterflies (esp the right one)

Final thoughts: A great shot for the challenge and might well have ribboned in a 'three' challenge. Thanks for showing this to us!

good, but why so small when you have 720 pixels to play with?
