p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fun with butterflies

To start our adventure we flew into Gainesville Florida and while there visited the Museum of Natural History which has a wonderful yet small butterfly exhibit. They have some of the prettiest butterflies I've seen. I just started processing and wanted to share these. The middle image is my wife at work.

What a great way to kick things off Morris! Those are some beauties; camo of the first is impressive!

Thanks for posting.

Pretty cool shots Morris...little bit of a cluttered background in the second and I think your focus was off

Morris,

The first one stands out beautifully against dark and light backgrounds.

I would probably have reduced the brightness a touch on the last one.
