My recent trip to the Butterfly Pavilion (Westminster, CO) was very interesting - I got lots of neat photos.
This is actually the less attractive side of this wildly popular blue butterfly, the Blue Morpho. I couldn't get one of these guys to open its wings for the life of me. But that worked out, because this side has circles. =)
Lots of PP (hope it's not too obvious - I like subtlety):
- Crop a bit
- Levels to bring up the blue
- Selective sharpening and USM
- Hue/saturation
- Selective reduction of yellows
- Blurred soft light layer
- Blurred luminosity layer
