Hi Ram
Thanks for sharing this lovely image.
I love the butterfly here, but wondered whether it might not be possible to reduce the brightness of the flowers, which seem to detract just a little from the whole.
In PhotoShop CS2, I used Image > Adjustment > Shadow/Highlight and just decreased the amount of the highlights over all. That seems to have tamed the light in the flowers just a little.
But it's all a matter of taste -- so I hope you don't mind my playing with your image

Comparison

This is the original frame reduced to 800X to facilitate comparison with the heavily cropped version posted today. I did not want to make any compromise on the size; hence heavy cropping.
Thanks.
