Think inside ... ......

.....the square.

The last of the butterflies...***REALLY NEEDS TO BE SEEN ON BLACK TO SEE THE SQUARE...***

 

Was designed for a small challenge - topic; Square Composition.......So tried to think 'outside the square'..with multiple squares...

 

This is a 'critique/comment from the challenge'. Reading this may make more sense of the reasoning behind the compositon ....

Squares, with a touch of something extra. This is a composition that - to me - demands the square. That the original was rotated into this configuration is irrelevant - it makes for a stronger play on the squareness, providing symmetry in gravity's effect. the ratios between all the square elements are all golden, and the position of the butterfly's eye likewise. What could have been a dull play on geometry is then made artistic through the touch of texture spilling across the boundaries....
