Butterflies are Magic!

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted February 16, 20181,335 views4 comments

I took this photo through Topaz and used a sketch effect which rendered a black and white and then I masked out the sketch effect to various degrees. I don't know the name of the butterfly and would appreciate help with that. Will post a "straight" version of this in Macro.

Comments and suggestions always appreciated.

Regards to all!

This is outstanding for this Gallery! Love the sketch effect and the way you have handled it. The butterfly is just glowing, and the colors are all very pleasing. A very, very minor nit is the brown stuff on the flower, perhaps a dried piece of something. But regardless, this stands out as a superb piece of art.

A very attractive image and the framing is a nice addition.
