 This is a large, fake butterfly about 2 feet wide. I'm holding it with my hand which you can see near the based of the body. I shot it with a 10 mm lens to give a strange perspective. It will be interesting to see people's reaction.

I did a fair amount of post processing to mess with colors and contrast.

Lightroom 2 - exposure, clarity, vibrance, curves, sharpen, noise reduction, vignette

CS4 - color balance, curves, dodge/burn for vignette, slight blur to soften background, add border, save for web

shame this didn't finish higher for you. The notion of the miniature camera suggested by the title is enough to see that it meets the challenge well IMO

What a great idea! I'm not sure how voters will consider this miniature, since the butterfly is a full-sized butterfly, at least... perhaps larger, huh? Not voting.
