Peeking Through
Uploaded: July 14, 2008
Believe it or not, this is a butterfly!! Our family went to the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls this weekend for my father-in-law's birthday! The butterflies were amazing and the kids LOVED having them fly all around!! Deb got some CUTE shots of the kids that day so check out her gallery for those!! :)
Cropped to square, added vanilla b&w action, extra contrast, and grain.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!! :)

Jeanie- Good day my friend. You have come up with the most outstanding shot I have seen of this type. The POV is absolutely stunning and I love the look. Its like something has gone terribly wrong in the insect world and someone is hiding from the giant that ate New Jersy. Fantastic work. Love the silouette and the excellent definitions. This is super cool stuff.Sarah G July 16, 2008
