    Hi Mitch, another cool flood image! I like the composition and unlikely juxtaposition of elements. The image seems a bit flat overall, would suggest a curves or levels adjust to bring up the overall level and a bit more saturation. I would especially like to see more light on the butterfly.

    Mitch, I really like this. The BF, the flowers and the flood look nice together. I might add a bit of canvas to the top and lighten the BF to make it stand out more as Kerry suggested. Nice job.

    Whilst I agree with Kerry, I do find this a very serene image which is very pleasing. Some minor adjustments would certainly lift it.

    Hi Mitch cool flood image. The repost looks great. I might try to darken the blacks of the BF just a touch, but leave the reflection as is. It looks like the blacks washed out a little when you lightened the BF. Nice work!

    Mitch, you are certainly the master of flood! Wonderful composition and the repost on #5 is excellent. Great processing.
