Long story behind this shot... I had something completely different lined up and already submitted (a self portrait in muted tones along the lines of Rammstein - German industrial band) when I ran across this butterfly literally on my doorstep.
Yes, once again I've lowered myself to posing dead bugs. Although this time he wasn't completely dead (at least not yet). He was injured, and unfortunately too far gone to save. :-(
PP included:
crop
contrast
lighting/exposure
change hue
color sat
Neat Image
save for Web
I really don't expect this to do very well, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to present the 3-D butterfly juxtaposed with a 2-D flower. It was just too good to pass up - regardless of the score!!! LOL
Granted the irony could have probably been presented more impactfully, but I hope at least some people get a kick out of my humor. :-)
