I have to admit, I smiled when I first saw this manipulation. While the text throws most of it off for me, once I looked past it, I was blown away. If I scrolled down enough to get past the text and straight to the image, it was easy for me to mistake this for a photograph. The rose is perfectly centered, and the butterfly looks ready to spring. It struck me as a very much original piece, and well worth the time that was spent on creating it. The grounding is good, and the entire image is well worth looking at. I was a little perturbed not to see a shadow, even on such a sunny day, but then I noticed it's being cast behind the rock, keeping with reality. Bravo.
