| That's some photo, the title is just as good. What a philosopher you would make! |

| Most likely the "horizon" tilt was the Achilles heel, although it doesn't bother me. And funny you say it's a curb, but before reading that, I thought the background was a park area, with people sitting on the grass - those two dark shadows looked like people to me. Title is perfect - Kundera would like the shot and not fault you the "horizon". :) |

| I think dead things are tough for challenges, well at least for voters as some will feel squeamish. I think the bokeh is fine, though I have seen creamier but I doubt the votes notice that. The color palette is marvelous |

i really like this, and not just because of the title. the overabundance of green in the background with the grey and red, death foreground. it just works. nicely done, don. |

| Loved the title. Thought it was a sad pic, poor butterfly. I think the tilted background threw me off. I will say that I gave this a 6, and I do think it was influence by the death of the bug that caused me to vote this way. |

| It didn't score better because no one particularly likes dead butterflies. Sure, they die, but we like 'em better when they're alive. Besides, they're easier to shoot when they're dead since they aren't flitting all over the place. Nice bokeh, though and a good composition, even with the tilted horizon. |

| This looks like an excellent contenter for the OOBIE this week :-) I really like it. Very artistic, tells a little story right in one frame. |

| :-((( Poor butterfly. He should be flitting happily amongst the foliage in the background, not tattered and all alone on the pavement. And squooshed, it appears. Sad. |
