Psycho Butterfly

[Paul Lagasi]

I saw some of the images posted recently where by playing with the curves line..you can get some funky colors happening. This was a photo I took of a Monarch on a leaf, which I decided to have some fun with.
I masked the butterfly and applied a twirl effect, then I moved the curves to some wild angles, fotosketcher oil painting effect..and came up with this.
I framed it a la "Fuge" :D and the rest is history....

See you all in a few weeks, going to Nova Scotia for a wedding with the family, relatives we're staying with have no computer :confused:. Back on the 28th of the month...again I've always found you can't hit a moving target.

Fantastic! The colors and the twirl are great Paul, The one little thing at the bottom that looks like a cigarette I might evict. Nice work and very creative!! I love it!!:)

Nice job Paul! I like the colors and motion and I love the texture. Looks like rough paper. Very cool and the framing is very "Fugesque".

I agree with everyone else. Love the twirl and texture. It's very creative.
