In Butterfly World(Florida) they have a room with mounted insects. I was using a 200mm macro so I thought it would be interesting to try and capture colorful parts of the the insects. They were all under glass.
Used Topaz Simplify and created backround using Nik Grad Filters.

Beautiful colors and patterns, Dave. I wish the sharpness on the lower wing didn't drop off at the tip, but not a real big deal. Just curious, are these the original colors and what kind of insect is this from?

Cool colours Dave. Like the gradient and the colours are great. Might take a sliver off the bottom if it were mine.
