Kitty- I love everything about it. That lighting is awesome, the colors are so gorgoeus and radiant, beautiful compostion and the details of the flowers and the butterfly are fantastic. What I especially love is the way that butterfly is looking at that other flower as he is sitting on the other one. Like, ummmmmmm, that one looks pretty delicious to.
