Thanks, Jack.
I think you hit upon why I was iffy on that shot. It's not so much the
lack of vividness, but the fact that the butterfly itself is somewhat
bland in comparison to the mimosa tree. Hmm ... come to think of it,
maybe I should have named it "Mimosa Tree with a Butterfly on it".

The PPG offerings continue to include an extremely large number of butterflies.
Such a number tends to numb the voter to the point of being difficult to
overcome, thus placing such images at somewhat of a disadvantage.(?)
This image, however, I feel is unique enough to have a good chance at making it
in. Even though there it rather more going on in the background than it would
really need, I'd enter it.

Hi all,
Here's another butterfly shot I'm considering
submitting to the PPG and thought I'd get some opinions on
beforehand. I'm just a tad "iffy" on it, as it just
doesn't strike me as particularly vivid -- something I'm
partial to in my butterfly images. Of course, it's a
matter of taste -- which is why I thought I'd get input from
the list. Anyway, here it is:
