Butterfly girl

Congratlations on being selected as an "Editors Picks", well deserved indeed. It is an amazing photograph. The sharpness is unbelievable. The setting insuperable. Elegant, artistic, joyful, pleasant, aesthetic. I could go on and on, and yet unable to applaud all of the technical and visual marvels this image conveys.

Here comes the drawback: Do not get discouraged by not having more comments, even though this image of yours (that by the way, goes into my favorites) deserves a deluge of comments. The recent changes made by PN in its design, has somehow diluted to such an extent the participation of what once was a close-knit club of really great photographers and commentators, that even when the work is excellent (as in this case), and having received such worthy commendation and award, has become lost in its own tracks. The page has become so commercial, introduced so much unnecessary advertising (where formerly there was none), that people no longer take the time to comment. The great participants of a year ago, have sadly departed, disgusted and with a sour taste in their mouths. I have, nonetheless, remained in PN, still "wanting to believe" this site can become the superb forum it was only a few months ago....To sad to see how a minor change scares away the quality gathering of loyal participants....like a wonderful flock of birds dispersed by a sudden loud noise, never to gather back again.... Well, so much for philosophical considerations.

Your image deserves a VERY special place, and worthy of top galleries. Congratulations with all due respect. DG
