Swallowtail

[Jim Neely]

This guy spent a few days checking out my wife's handiwork this spring.

I used Topaz Adjust and Pixel Bender for the effects.

Jim, Nice subtle use of the filters. I like the composition and details.

[Mark Fuge]

Nice image and application, Jim.

We're finally in a butterfly area, due to the more country environs here, over the east coast metropolis. Hope to get some welcome landscaping started next year to attract them for viewing and shooting. Nice subjects, when they sit for you! :w3

Nicely done. My eye went straight to the beautiful butterfly. The blurred edges help with that. The Swallowtail is showing off its beautiful wings.

Nice composition and post processing. I may just remove the bright spot in the upper right corner. Nice one.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Beautiful butterfly and nice use of the mentioned filters!

Nice one, Jim! Cool looking butterfly and like the composition you created.
