Hello Oana,
A very special capture for you and an outstanding treat for us. The colors are magnificent, as is this details and composition. Splendid work Oana, thank you.

I am not sure of spelling but luminescence comes to mind..Borderline on 60's psychedelic! you have given a common butterfly a look at the aura...specifically I do believe in the notion of an aura...yet scientifically I reckon it could be better understood as a light form on the scale of waves...from which many things come...from light to dark...which is the beginning and which is the end? This is a fine picture..I would have suggested dedication to Elizabeth Prophet who died of Alzheimer's, but you more than likely do not know her. She has written much of the aura..
