    Default Correa Brown

    Photographing this Correa Brown butterfly before sunrise when suddenly the first rays of sunlight peeped over the horizon. I had to make some quick adjustments to exposure and grab a reflector but I've never been very happy with the result.
    Comments would be appreciated.

    I would be very happy if this was mine. It makes me think of a beautiful jewel hanging from a pendant. A good exposure too.

    Really like the rim light and the droplet details.

    Warming up the WB a little and lighten the image overall would make the image even better.

    I love how the rin light defines the outline of the subject and the texture too.
