Jim Snarski - Nice buttlefly and a good composition. I Just think
the image is too light, maybe some contrast and brightness control
would be nice and could improve it a lot
there's always that choice...I elected to leave the image
faithful to the original lighting....looked pretty good on my Apple
monitor....I've been told there are differences between PC and Mac
monitors with images being darker on PC's...thanks to your comment I
just learned there is a quick Gamma adjustment in Photoshop's Image
Ready that will adjust a Mac image for a PC...which, if I had done
that, would have made it even lighter!!!....

I like the background more than the subject.
The butterfly should be more sharp. ( as in Renate's pic )
yeah, and I *should* be rich.... * >) ....maybe it's my eyes
but it looked ok to me....I try not to post an image where the
central subject is out of focus....

Jim Snarski -- Painted Lady -- The background is nicely mottled, and
anice collection of colors; parts of it make me slightly suspicious
it's been worked on, but even if that's true I don't mind. The
righthand plant stalk is either showing poor lens performance, or
else is just the wrong amount out of focus; it looks harsh and
unclear at the same time. The left outer wing of the butterfly
looks quite good, sharp and not jagged.
hmmmm....depends on what you mean by *worked on*....if you
mean altering the original scene by cloning or some such other
manipulations, no.....the image was cropped and the brightness and
contrast slightly adjusted and that's the extent of it...
