This is a photo I scanned from when I was using film. I did some cloning and applied Fractalius filter.

Barb,

I like the colors in this and the treatment. I also like the darkness but I might be inclined to put a little more light around the butterfly's left wing and antennae or maybe just bring the light up on the entire image a little.

Pat and Cindy, I see what you mean about it being dark so I'm posting the photo with more brightness.

Nice job on the re-post, Barb. That left wing could still use some light around the wing IMO,

Barb,

I actually like both but do prefer the repost.

I love the wild background. The repost, with the butterfly made brighter is especially nice.

Very good on the repost! It looks much less "heavy" than the original post. Still a little dark in places, though. A very fine original photo, too, I must say; saw it posted in a different gallery.

Catherine, thank you for the comment, but I don't think I posted the original photo anywhere. Maybe you saw something similar. My original photo had some distracting elements in the bg which I cloned out before using the fractalius filter, so the original looked different than you might expect.
