Common Blue Morpho

[Brendan Dozier]

OOTB version of the common blue morpho butterfly (Morpho peleies) taken last weekend at the butterfly exhibit. Though it's wings are blue on top, the underside has very cool patterns and bullseye-like markings. Crop, cloned out some areas on FG and spots on bfly, PP, Topaz Clean, Detail, DeNoise, and some PB.

Very lovely, Brendan. I like the softness,colors, patterns and your processing. Very intimate view of this BF.

Brendan, Very nice close up view and processing. I think that you chose the right filter here. I like the square crop, maybe a tiny sliver more on the right side so the bullseye doesn't feel so close to the edge. Very nicely done!

Brendan, this is very, very cool. I love the effect you achieved with the filter.

Super capture and killer combo of filters Brendan. Love the tight macro crop but agree with Denise about the spot, could be a little more into the left. Good one!

[Brendan Dozier]

Thanks very much, you guys. Here's repost with a bit more added to rt. side.

Beautiful closeup, Brendan. I love the soft BG and all the details that the filter treatment brought out in the butterfly. Repost is spot on, pun intended!
