Little Fingers and Butterfly Wings


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Little Fingers and Butterfly Wings
Little Fingers and Butterfly Wings
...these are a few of my favorite things! This was another butterfly that CJ was holding.

I added a background layer, desaturated, then erased the B&W so the color of the butterfly showed through (thanks Bobbie :) ). I didn't even notice the legs were orange until I did this!

Have a great day!.

  Tammy how did you get this butterfly to stay on her hand.

This is so cool.

The butterflies move so fast and it hard to even get an image of one let alone on the hand.

This is very nice. Kerby

  Thanks Kerby!!! The butterfly has just emerged from its cocoon. The Butterfly keep put it on her finger and it sat there until its wings were dry enough for it to fly away.
