Yummmm...I Love Yellow Stuff....Yummm

Yet another butterfly, with a tad of work with textures. Life is getting in the way of photography at the moment -- we all know what that can be like! Remember: Tomorrow is April 1st. 14 minutes left for March-Town2016 theme!

These textured backgrounds are so interesting in how artistic they make the image. Is the texture on the butterfly also added?

[Taffy]

@jyokota Thanks!! I'm having fun with them and they do help an image sometimes. I only have the texture in the background because the lighting was really glaring. I just wanted to soften that so masked out textures wherever the butterfly and yellow flower were.

[Suse♡]

Those textures are so great, so beautiful

[Maggiemae]

You are being very gentle with your textures and not spoiling the main subject! What focus!

[Dianne]

Really lovely detail.

[Junko Y]

@taffy -- I have a lot to learn!

[Nicole Campbell]

Wonderful detail Taffy, the pattern on the wings is so pretty

[Debs Stott]

Gorgeous close up, the patterns become almost abstract

[Issi Bannerman]

What an amazing close-up. Beautiful detail and textures.

[Marnie]

Wow, you've got those textures working well Taffy. That butterfly is so richly textured it almost looks fake though, reading the thread, that's natural. Great capture.

[KWind]

Such a great shot. I like its markings and how you captured its texture so well.

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous close up and love the editing. Beautiful capture

[Sebastian Gritt]

Sensational shot, Taffy.

[Margo]

[Clare Gadsby]

Beautiful capture Taffy. I want to get a bit of subtlety with the textures like you do. That'll be down to a bit more practice I guess ;)

[Louise & Ken]

Look at that wonderful little face! And it almost looks as though he's got his arms wrapped around his tummy! Your title definitely rings true! Yummm...

[Jane Pittenger]

Love his face and little legs

[Danette Thompson]

So clear and beautiful.

[Rosie Kerr]

The detail in this butterfly, especially in the wings, is remarkable. The textures give a "watery window" effect to the background.... very nice.

[Gena Pegg]

GORgeous Taffy! I am jealous. I was looking forward to seeing the Monarchs in Pismo Beach..but they left the first of March. They return in September. We are usually here much earlier.

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible macro. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.

[Walks @ 7]

Absolutely perfect.

[Disha Parekh]

[Diane]
