Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted in this forum. Here's an image that I made during our recent trip to Sani Lodge in Eastern Ecuador. This is close to full frame, the lighting was very contrasty and harsh, I did what I could with the shadow/highlight tool to recover details. We were standing in the lounge when I noticed this butterfly on a turtle's head down on the water's edge. I scrambled down the bank at first the butterfly flew away but it quickly returned to the turtle's head and I managed to make a few images. Thanks for looking, comments and suggestions welcomed.

Great image, the BF really stands out. You did a good job of trying to bring out some details in the darks, however the contrast of dark and light I find really makes the BF stand out.
Fantastic. The butterfly has come out well. The eye of the turtle is also open. I am happy that you rushed and waited for the butterfly to come back. Thanks for sharing.
Great capture. There is a blurry pale spot along the right hand margin (level with the BF) that looks a bit funky but overall well worth bolting out of the lounge for.
