the dark, moody, bizarre background creates a neat effect - very interesting. It gives the subject an intensity that would otherwise not be there.

I like the photo, but I'm not too keen about what you did to the background.

Nice capture. The dark background mutes the overall effect, IMO.

The flower and butterfly are real nice, but what's up with that background? I can't even describe what I'm seeing. Again, I really like the main subject.

I'm curious, what processing you have done to get the background to be this way? Personally, I find it to be a little over-processed and bordering on digital art. JMO.

Don't like the way you have changed the background. It is to much.

Good capture, interesting post-processing. Compositionally, I wish the butterfly was oriented differently: I don't like it pointing in the direction of the lower left corner.
