Description

EDIT: Adjusted the shadows/highlights based off of great feedback from ~ElizabethGreene. :]

Another from the Smithsonian Butterfly Exhibit. This one is Danaus gilippus, otherwise known as the Queen Butterfly. Isn't she lovely? :]

If you enjoy butterfly photography, I would definitely check out ~miirex's gallery. He is a truly talented photographer. Here's a selection of his butterfly photographs:


Thanks everyone!

Okay I think that the lighting and the angle is FANTASTIC. The way you zoomed in and got the little details really makes this photo stand out. I think you could have really raised the brightness and contrast of the colors, as far as the butterfly is concerned. The plants look good, the butterfly's possision is very nice as well. I personally use the blur in the back to make the focus stand out. Of course, I can not assume that you have the programs I do, so best not to compare. But all together I really enjoy this piece and I would like to see more <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> I give you an A. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt=":clap:" title="Clap"/> I will watch you and favorite this for obvious reasons. If you would like to see my technique then check out my profile. Compare and Contrast my friend.
