Natural, colorful, detail, softness, all in one!
As I have mentioned before, I get much richer colors if I stand deep within the bushes/trees and shoot, and I really like the shadows that play in and around the butterfly. Again, that "in their world" look! I had been waiting for this butterfly to land, and one finally did land right where I wanted him to. Right behind this clump of buddleias (7 total), there is a old barn that is a rusty red color. In the front of the barn scattered about are some weeds which have stems that range from rose to pink in color. Add to that some yellow flowers topping their heads. I decided to stand up from the stool I was sitting on, and line myself up to have that as a background. This shot here is almost "exactly" what came from the camera. The only thing done is some selective sharpening, toning down the whites a little bit in PS, and that's it!   Just doing something different for a change. I took/cropped a certain section of the raw file, enlarged it a bit, added a pinch of blur, then added the jpg shot to the top of that part in PS, then added a drop shadow to give it the feeling of depth in the frame. Got to go away for a couple of hours, so will get back to more responses tonight. (Boy how this forum moves along fast now!!) Thanks for looking gang, and any comments appreciated!
