Flying from Flower to Flower

[Christopher Miller]

This is an old photo I had of an Eastern black swallowtail. It was rather blurred, but I figured it might be good for OOTB. Usual techniques...I added three of my textures using hard light and multiply, converted to B&W, and added a sepia tone and a vignette.

Christopher, I think it turned out very nice! Now I wish I had saved all my partially blurred butterfly images! This really has an old-time feel to it. I think the coloring is perfection!

Christopher, This has a very nice aged effect to it and the softness adds nicely to the image. Well done.:)

Shows what you can do with photos that might be otherwise unusable----when you get lemons...make lemonade. When you get blurs, well, you know what I mean. Good job.

Christopher, this makes me think of an old textbook image. The amount of blur and added textures really make this one work.

Beautiful composition, Christopher. The blur here works nicely. Great feel to the image. I really like you are able to use the texture and edging on images which otherwise one would delete. TFS.

Thanks guys. Much appreciated! :)

Nice image and I like the aged effect. Just had an idea of maybe adding a hint of color on just the butterfly to give it some more impact.

This one really does look like an old blurry photo! Nice work with the aging process!

Thanks Brendan and Judy! :)
