Nathan, I'm not sure what I could say that hasn't already been said about your work. This is another breathtaking design! Shades of emerald (my birthstone color) and a beautiful butterfly (another personal fave) combined into tranquil image that I could gaze at for hours. Your signature style is immediately recognizable... thank you for another great piece!

Great work on the pattern, shading and glow. I'm not so keen on the butterfly in this one though. Are you using Photoshop CS2? It's bugging the hell out of me as I can't get a sharp edge on the gradients on the reflections anymore?!
Wonderful greens. I really like the butterfly embossed on the jewel in this one. I'm less keen on the background pattern. (I really did think this first and am not just trying to make life difficult by disagreeing with every point of the previous comment!)
