Finally reached my 2k posting... :) For this composition, I used an image of a butterfly on a yellow cosmos. Applied fractalius on a copied layer and changed opacity. Used a layer mask to bring back the butterfly. Cropped and applied usm for the final image. Hope you like it...

Love the colors Indranil! To me, it looks as if that fiery cosmos has the same gradient of colors as the butterfly. I love the effect on the flower and that you masked out the butterfly.

Indranil, I really like how you masked out the BF. The flower looks awesome with the glow on it. I might evict the line that goes thru the BF on the left of wing. Very nicely done.:)

Patti, Denise, thanks. Appreciate it a lot. Here is a repost without the line on the left wing of the butterfly...

Really nice repost Indranil. I love the contrast between the butterfly and the fracted BG. Excellent!
