Judges' comments:
High impact image; nice angled composition; stem leads to butterfly; black background adds to impact; might like to see more of the butterfly's head; the flower petals closest to viewer are not sharp
Maker's notes:
Image was shot in my front yard using Google pixel cell phone. Editing done with Lightroom and Photoshop Express. Radial gradient masking was utilized along with conversion to black and white and effort to keep black background crisp around colored petals.
