Thanks all for nice comments and appreciation.

quite fun author, excellent job (If you want.. you could repeat the flower and add just a wee bit of drop shadow and place it on top of itself several times to give it a bit more thickness)

It's super fine just the way it is, but a bit more thickness to the bloom might give the image a tad more punch, it looks a bit thin at the moment compared to the thickness of the butterfly, but of course that is just IMHO... GOOD LUCK and GOOD JOB!!

Very creative idea. Lovely job.

Thanks all for your comments! I'll try to improve some details on it (if I have time to do it).

You've created a masterpiece in just using the source picture. WOW! Very interesting. Best of luck.

HUH???

Oh, this butterfly looks evil

Ah yes I remember it well, headphones, a few other items and In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida for me the only thing that every came close was Frankies "Pleasuredome" but that was a few years later!!! Love your creation!

Thanks arca!

this should have placed much higher, dont let it get ya down though

I agree with Geexman; should have placed better. The sale bit was in reference to your pitch about the band, lol! Go get 'em!
