G'day Mike,

I really like this one mate and it is a most worthy EP winner and more!

Though a little tight on our left and with my preference for a square crop, basically the composition is very sound.
Excellent exposure and focus revealing good detail of the Butterfly, especially as it has such bright, light wings.
Good use of depth of field has rendered what a mate of mine said recently, "a nice creamy bokeh".
The colour combination and contrast of the rich, vivid purple and the off-white work marvellously.
Very good work that man!
