Having the purple thistle in sharp focus allows the Butterfly to permit the Thistle to have center stage for a change. Good move. V.V. nice- the more I view the more i like -Original- T

Yes very nice, especially also the lit up wings of the butterfly and the non distracting background.

I haven't seen it like this before, but it does look great.
