| Awesome contrast. The crop could be improved- the negative space on the top is too much. |

| First impression: The butterfly should have been in color. Second impression: desaturating the butterfly makes this a spectacular picture, with both selective desaturation and selective DOF giving it tremendous depth. A definite 10. |

| I've seen several butterflies in this challenge where everything but the butterfly was desaturated. What is it they are trying to say? Here, you've left the flower with a title of "Attraction." GREAT!!! The title emphasizes the point of the photo. I could see this as a poster with the title printed across the top of the photo in that negative space (I know this is illegal for the challenge -- I'm just making a suggestion for a future print). Great DOF and nicely cropped. Maybe not a winner, but should make top 10 IMHO. |

| very nice. I like the angle of the butterfly in the shot. framing/ cropping is nice also. The butterfly looks real sharp. There looks to be a few hard lines aroud the red flowers that the selection tool missed. Im sure it wil make a very nice print |

| Beautiful photo with the butterfly in sharp focus (at least the top half). Interesting to choose the flowers to be colorized, I would've chosen the butterfly but that's what makes this photo different. Selection of the flowers under the butterfly seems a bit "loose" as parts of the background were left out when desaturating. |

| nice black and white. many of the shots seem to have overlooked the b&w when concentrating on the color. |

| I think I would have left the butterfly coloured, It could have created better balance for the shot. This full colour photo must look quite nice. Back end of butter fly is slightly out of focus. Good effort. |

| Interesting that you chose to color the flowers instead of the butterfly. Good job |

I think I would have preferred to have the butterfly in color and the rest of the photo in black and white. I don't think it quite works the way you have it.

| This could have been a 10 if you had colored the butterfly - it's certainly the main subject with perfect symetry and freshly sprouted! Nearly the perfect picture to use for this challenge............... nice focus, good dof and excellent contrast. Excellent workmanship on separating the color from the background. Perhaps others will appreciate the flower over the butterfly. It's a great picture in any case. Good work. Rated 7. |

| Nice image. I think it would look better with some cropping at the top. |

| I'd like to see this with the butterfly being in color and everything else grayscale. It's ok as is, but that butterfly is so bright in white, I have to wonder what it looks like in color. Also, since it is in the foreground and the focal point, I think leaving it the only thing in color would really increase the impact of the shot. Great composition and I love the depth of field. |

| What a wonderful choice you made. First of all, it's a beautiful, crisp & clean photograph. Without the saturation work it would have been wonderful, I'm sure but what you did here is really excellent. The butterfly is beautiful and so is the red flower. Nice work. |

| Very interesting choice of where to desaturate, not the obvious leave the butterfly in colour. It really works well! |
