Description Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
~Robert Frost

That's beautiful- the soft golden tones, the innocence and fragility of a butterfly, the clouds... All so delicate, and beautiful. I think it echoes the poem wonderfully. It's slightly ironic that I heard about this poem pretty recently, too.

wow cool photo-manip

really well done i see so many people using stock images but yours are done so effectively a beautifully really nice work .... love the slight view of the layer butterfly wing in the top corner just give a bit of stimulation to the piece
the design has such a happy and cheerful vibe that it immedietly grabs really beautiful piece

Wow..it looks so gentle..the larger butterfly background thing is also a wonderful touch (sorry I'm not so adept with terms)... ALso, I love the color and how the "gold" is carried from the solid hue of the wings to the lighter shades in the back..it's really beautiful..

That is so beautiful! I love these colors!

Its like the butterfly is going as high as he can just so he can touch the clouds

Wow thats quite beutiful, love the composition, and that shade of yellow is really pleasing. I actually thought the outline of the clouds were lightning, but on full view they are clouds, which is just as good. Nice pic.

I love this, for at first what may look like rays of light on closer observation reveals a butterfly!
