Water on Butterfly Wing

This is a painted lady butterfly. My son and I raised them for a project. I shot this after my son decided they wanted a "drink" and sprayed them with water instead. Well...when an opportunity presents itself, photograph it!!

This is really cool Kate. It's an abstract, sort-of, because it's still obvious what each element is. The colours compliment each other and are bold + brilliant, then the water drops are like icing on the cake. Lovely image! :toast:

I appreciate that Karen! Tough to get a sharp shot! But I really like how it turned out.

This is an interesting close up. I like all three elements and how they're arranged in the frame. Whether you call it "photo art" or an artistic macro seems like a personal decision. I wonder how it would look/feel as a vertical. Sounds like a fun "project".
