Great positioning! Were you on a bridge, on the water, or in the water to get this shot?

not sure how to answer a comment yet but I was sitting on the ground and the water went to my right side

very nice shot author good luck

Beautiful work author! I love your composition, best of luck!

Beautiful composition. Very nice photo!

A good effort, I would have liked a little more floor and less ceiling.

Thank you MossyB! They were doing construction as you can see by the boxes so I had to cut off the floor a bit.
Thank you!

Great color, the greens give it a lot of depth, even with the soft focus.

would love to see a High Res

Thanks to both comments!!! I guess I should have made a high resolution. This was my very first butterfly, I was very lucky! Thank you

As a cat person, I think this is adorable. As a composition, this shows good lines and shape, leading the eye back to the hand, with the thumb then leading the eye back to the adorable kitty shaker...The lighting is well done, not being too reflective on the glazed ceramic. Well done!

I am very happy you like this! I have seen your work and you are great!
I am also a cat person, love them!
Thank you!

well done, a little reflector to throw some light into the hand would have made it even better.

looks like bronze, so not carved, still I'm no longer sure if it has to be carved.

I noticed that also
