This shot was tough. It looks like the butterfly was gliding but it wouldn't keep still. It was all over the place. If voters recognize the difficulty and motion in this photo I think it has a chance to score above a 6.0. If not, 5.3 is the prediction. I'm hoping that it achieves the higher of the two.

Thanks everyone for your comments and a favorite! This photo was disputed so I needed to send the original which was validated.
I could've zoomed in a bit more but the cloud layer wouldn't have been in the scene which I wanted.
Thanks again.

Don't know why it needed to be validated. I just think you are way too patient to be able to capture this against that brilliant sky. Major issue though is the size, would have loved the subject to be bigger, but that may not have been possible
At first, this image came across as not effective or even interesting. On a third review, this reviewer has changed rating from an 8 to a 10. A very interesting concept that needs some thought to properly evaluate. With no technical issues of note, the artistic impression is the controlling factor and with the vast expanse of space and the tiny life form in it is very compelling. It might have worked a little better if the subject was a little larger within the space provided, but then it would be a diffeent photograph. A very good composition and title. Well done.
