Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who took the time to comment on this image.
Many asked (in varying ways) "How does this met the challenge?"
The dictionary definition of 'Immovable' says (in part)
...incapable of being moved from one's purpose, opinion, etc.; steadfast; unyielding
OR
...not moving; motionless
In this case this particular butterfly was absolutely refusing to move from one of my child's hands to another - it was both 'unyeilding & not moving' - SMILE!
I hope this helps you understand my creative process in entering this image.
Thanks again for leaving a comment - they are so wonderful to receive - let's me know what the voters are thinking and that's fantastic!
Happy days to you,
Lisa

i know i've already commented on this but felt the need to comment again seeing i've just seen it in the photo domino game .. its so excellent and you got such a buggar of a score for it .. :)
its the sort'v image that improves each time you see it .. its very very brilliant lisa .. have you made it into a print and is it hanging in your house ??..
if you havent then you should .. :) .. SMILE ..
the 'smile' is just for you .. lol .. :)
hey lisa . i've called in for a visit & have been looking at some of your last challenge entries .. felt i needed to comment on at least one .. this is it .. and wot an amazing photograph it is .. the look of concentration on your son's face, the way you've cropped it, the butterfly perched on his finger and your brilliant processing .. most definitely a WOW to me .. :)
ps.. i find it very very annoying when voters make erroneous assumptions and then mark you down .. often with a tiny bit more knowledge a vote of 5 could end up being a 7, 8, 9 or 10 .. oh well .. at least their vote wont kill us .. lol .. !!..:)
I had voted an 8 on this, I think the final score was WAY too low. Just goes to show you that people definitely see different things. BTW your photos are amazing. Keep up the good work! :)
I don't get the sense of Immovable here. A butterfly is clearly moveable. The depth of field works to highlight the butterfly, which may have been the intention, but does not highlight the topic at all.
Very nice image, I like the colors and the depth, I really don't get the immoveable thing, but this is one of the stronger images in this challenge, came back to view again, I really like how tack sharp the butterfly is compared to the rest, such fine tiny detail, and how it has green here and there like older movies, not sure if it was intentional or not, but a great image, so far my only 10.
Hmm. Don't see how this fits. Will think about it and adjust score accordingly if I think of the connection to the challenge. Cute photo. Shallow DOF is nice, but the noise is not.
