Hello fellow artists, 

Butterfly on a flower -- a common occurrence, but light and focus are perfect.  The background fades nicely, allowing the featured players to stand out.  The dahlia is a symbol of dignity and elegance.  Because a caterpiller makes a miraculous change into a butterfly, butterfly is a symbol of rebirth.  So here,  rebirth is feeding on dignity and elegance.
