THANK YOU so much for all those views, comments and favs- wow! I never expected this one to land on the pp as it wasn't really the best shot in my opinion! But I was so excited to see a butterfly I just had to post it. Well, as usual you folks made my day!

Looks like a beautiful painting. But it isn't a painted lady from what I can see. Excellently processed - quite apart from the capture itself.

[KWind]

Pretty processing!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@helenhall Thank you Helen- no, it's a Swallowtail and your eyes were correct in perceiving it as a painting because I did apply a painting style effect to the shot overall and then erased it on the butterfly.

@kwind Thanks Kim!

[Lou Ann]

Just beautiful!

@robz Thanks Rob! It seemed to bring out the color more than just leaving it sooc.
