Another capture of this beautiful butterfly, this time the image was edited in topaz adjust 5. The first one had less editing, no topaz, and can be seen here .

I used the canon 40D but with the canon 70-300 IS USM lens at a focal length of 300.

Thank you for commenting.

Thanks, Sandi. Think further comment is not necessary!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Very nice work Sandi. Crisp details and rich color. I use Topaz quite often. My favorite plugin for Photoshop. I like the interface and the ability to control the effects from radical to very subtle.
