I'm surprised no one has commented on the apparent circle surrounding the b'fly. Looks like at one point a circular area was chosen to keep, and the rest dropped off, leaving a difference in whites. It might be improved if the magic lasso was used to frame just the b'fly, and the rest dropp

The B&W treatment gives it a very different look. Makes you look at the pattern a bit more. There seems to be some kind of bar or something near the bottom that doesn't make sense - it just sticks out a bit from the butterfly. I think I would clone that out. Also it seems odd the butterfly is c

As Brian said, i like the blown out back ground aswell. Really brings out the butterfly. Dave On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 8:08 PM, Christine Aguila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everyone: > At a butterfly haven @ a nature museum here in Chicago. > > K10D, 50mm 1.4, ISO 200, 40 sec @ f5.6. I did c

Like it, Christine. You might consider getting rid of the remnant perch, checkered area in upper left and vertical dashed lines in upper right. The resulting cleaner look might even improve it's stark tone. Jack --- On Wed, 9/17/08, Christine Aguila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Christine

I quite like the high key background with this although the butterfly does seem a little blown out in places (eg. the feelers). I wouldn't mind seeing this one in colour. No objections to photoshoppery of this nature, although the bit of pipe on the right of the insect sort of gives the game away
