    Re: Butterfly

    Nice capture, but I would suggest a bit more PP to bring out detail. Just as an example, I did a very quick lunch-break edit. I selected the insect, lightened the midtones of just the bug with a levels tool, and then increase contrast with a tone curve, again just for the bug. It's just a start and only a very modest edit, but it shows that you might want to add more detail and pop by working on it a bit more.

    If you object to people editing your images, let me know, and I will take this down.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Thank's Dan, no objections from me bud, that's how we learn I'm not used to these big bugs so was a bit wary of pushing things too far with the P/P

    Cheers David...

    For someone who is not good at bigger bug, this is a good capture...I saw this very early this morning but I was too tired so I just copy the link for today's viewing...this is what I like about Lytebox, the arrows are very useful.

    Re: Butterfly

    Cheers Izzie, thank's for commenting pal, this is only the third Butterfly I have captured mainly because the buggers will not stay still and I can never usually get close enough with my macro and ext tubes attached!

    Re: Butterfly

    Love it David, and I really like Dan's extra PP.

    The main thing I like about the image is the sort of "2 tone" background with the butterfly crossing over both. (If that makes sense, its late )

    Good one David. Butterflies are something I have never managed to capture, way to frisky
