Re: Dramatic yet tasteful(?) direct sunlight butterfly shot
Dramatic and tasteful. My vote would be to strongly darken the highlights on the right side so they no longer pull our eye away from the flower and butterfly. Then consider adding a slight vignette.

Re: Dramatic yet tasteful(?) direct sunlight butterfly shot
I have been trying to get a shot of this variety for years. There may be one more to come.

Re: Dramatic yet tasteful(?) direct sunlight butterfly shot
I've been working with gradient masks lately. This shot has one top left to bottom right. I did pull the right hand highlights down quite a bit but I wanted to keep the direct sunlight look. Originally Posted by Mike Buckley

Re: Dramatic yet tasteful(?) direct sunlight butterfly shot
I've been looking at my shots and you're right. The T:90 opened up a galaxy of possibilities. I like the new horizons. Originally Posted by rpcrowe
