very nice composition and point of view.

If caterpillars were meant to fly, God would have given them wings...

Honestly, I think you might even have had some difficulty with taking a better picture than this even if you had the Rebel.

The small sensor cameras can really do quite well with DOF for slightly larger subjects.

This one is pretty much perfect.

The whole butterfly is in focus, and enough of the background is also in focus to give the rest of the scene some context (also justifying the broad crop). This context really helps to work with the butterflying facing away, also spreading its wings which helps to build an anticipation of flight into a world dimly perceived, but active and waiting.

Very nice stuff.

A tiny bump to contrast and saturation might be suitable here.

Hi from the Critique Club!

What a beautiful image! I want to put it on my wall!

It has a wonderful ethereal feel, or an elemental, fairy like quality to it. It makes me feel calm, serene, at peace, and otherworldly:)

The colours are so soft and light. Your lighting has really enhanced the image without dominating or overwhelming it...it's simply sublime.

The bubbles and chips in the glass ball/marble give a lovely balance to the softness of the rest of the image. And the green within the glass balances the blues that surround it.

What more can I say? What the Dickens is it doing at 82nd place!

Comment by alien2thisworld:
I like this as an abstract shot. I think the tone range is good and the composition works. I think the lighting is interesting and makes great shadows. I wish I couldn't see the texture of the cloth, but it is not a big deal. The focus looks good too.

This image is pretty strong, once you stop to really look at it. And think.
Very surreal. I hope this does well, but I don't know...
YOU should know, however, that you created a very good photo, regardless of whatever score it might get.
Good luck. Yeah.
