Thank you so much to one and all! This was a good one to play with- glad you liked it.
@masonmartin It's not a mural, yes I made it. It's composed of two separately processed photographs of a butterfly display at the museum which were then merged in a composite. The first was of the entire display- butterflies mounted diagonally across a textured backdrop. The second a close-up of a monarch pulled out of the aforementioned shot of the display. The individual monarch was basically left as is with a little sharpening and vibrance. It was more complicated with the display shot- some flipping, textures and playing with the colors but I can't remember exactly what I did now- sorry! Once that was finished I layered the monarch on top of it and sent it off in flight.

@masonmartin No problem- sometimes it's a good exercise to see if I can remember all the steps!
