There are no bugs here... it's way too cold! So, I had to use a fake one.... You can tell it's fake, so I probably won't do too well. I wish it was advanced editing so I could fix it to look more realistic. Oh well! :)

Thank you so much everyone for the top 10 finish! I didn't think it would do this well!!! But, I'm sure glad it did! :)

wow.. the colors of the butterfly really stand out against the light colors of the flowers and sky. THis is a good pic! you can see every detail of the wings!
Particularly lovely for a minimal editing challenge. I love the softness and light of the daisies and sky. With more editing, the contrast and color in the butterfly can be increased to make this image spectacular.
Not sure - this looks a little posed...it IS very beautiful,crisp, well composed,focused and so on...it appears staged. Will look this up again out of interest after results are out.
Lovely colours. Is that butterfly real? It doesn't look real to me (not that there's anything wrong with that). If it is not real I would have positioned it more on an angle. If it is real, you could have taken the photo more on an angle. It just seems too straight on for me.
