While they aren't eyes they sure do look like them. I think I read somewhere that the pattern is supposed to fool predators into thinking they are eyes? I could be wrong though.

Very pretty.

I'm curious how it will fair in the relevance category. I think it fits pretty well and it's different.

Ahaa .. yes, you've got the point. The patern makes the wings look like "eyes".

I remember reading about how moths and some butterflies have "eyes" on their wings as a defense mechanism. Nice capture. The color is bit bright and unnatural but nothing a little tweak in Photoshop wouldn't fix.

@Lamdennison : yes .. a defense mechanism. ABout the color, yes is a bit bright. But I love the color of is.

Very clever interpretation but I think that the image would have been more effective flipped around. Great colours.
