Harold, Nice job! The colors are fantastic!Your composition is really nice also- I like that it's not over-sharpened it looks very natural.

Nicely done Doctor,
I like the placement of the butterfly in frame...the orange tones and hues are within the saturation range...well done...also there is a balanced between the soft texture and fine details...good show...:cool:

The colors pop! I like the orange of the butterly seeming to merge into the orange of the flower, yet, the butterfly stands out. I like the clarity of the butterfly, which makes it the center of focus.

To my eye, the colors are a bit oversaturated. The green leaf jutting up to the upper left is a bit distracting. Maybe a slight vignetting? Not sure.

Harold it's a beautiful image but that isn't a gerber...it's a Mexican Sunflower. Butterflies LOVE them!

Very eye-catching shot! The oranges do look they might be oversaturated, but I think it works here to create a more spectacular image. Good job!

Very nice image. Personally, I have a thing for oranges that put the saturation envelope which is where I think this is. I don't see oversaturated but it is right on that edge. I like that. And I love the way the orange in the butterfly's wings match the orange of the flower.
