I like the third one best...something about the framing and color...nice.

[janis]

Do you think I should tame those highlights on the lower left? I did not really see them until I posted on Flickr.

Bravo Janis.
Like Chris I especially like #3. You might like to tone down the red OOF blob on the LH side a tad.

   Some really nice work coming from you Janis. I'm partial to #2 myself, with #4 running a close second.

[janis]

Thanks Nick and Ron. I will apply a little first aid to #3. Glad you like #4, Ron, 'cos I do, too. I think though that I need to do something to make the in-focus bloom pop out just a bit more; suggestions welcome.

[chrisc]

With your permission - well actually without your permission until later - I did an edit on #3.

[janis]

Nice, Chris. I did a re-edit of my own wherein tamed the highlights, drew a bit more detail out of the butterfly and also applied a slightly different vignette, which may or may not be too heavy, can't decide.

[janis]

Looks kind of flat next to yours. May have to work on it some more...

[chrisc]

I don't think so at all...I think you did quite well and had you posted this first, I'd never given consideration to "playing" with the image at all.

Really nice! Number 2 jumps out at me and your rework of 3 is wonderful.

[chrisc]

Hey George, nice to see you back!

Thanks, Chris. I know it's a popular term to throw around, but I really do feel that I've a touch of ADHD.
