 Shooting for the wildlife and minimalism challenges, I found this. I like the way the leaves go with the butterfly wings.

Wow! You'd think the red would overpower your subject, but it actually worked it rather well. Great shot!

Nice how the butterfly shape mirrors the petals/leaves of the plant.

I like the idea of this but it's a tad busy. I would have moved the blurred stem in the foreground out of the way. I'm not above breaking one off for a shot. LOL The colors are beautiful.
