Butterflies on Beach 2

I was very pleased when two large butterflies flew in front of us and stopped when we were walking on the beach. These two were oblivious to everything but each other. I snapped 5 or 6 photos and was very disappointed when I returned home and looked at my shots to find that the background was algae covered rocks. Not knowing how to cut out a subject and put it elsewhere, I asked Bob for help. He took some flower photos yesterday and cut my butterflies out of the algae rocks and put them on flowers. This is my favorite. THANKS BOB!

They certainly look more at home here than on the rocks, Fran. Again, my congratulations to you and Bob for a wonderful view.

Fran - From one side of the Atlantic to the other via the magic of the Internet and digital manipulation! Bob did a nice job moving the flutterby duo onto the flowers. Thad

In one of your previous posts I referred to the phenomenon 'Bobonizing', but now the Owd Mucker himself has showed where 'Bobonizing' stands for, Fran.
Beautiful manip!

He sure is a crafty craftsman Fran. I do like them better in the flowers. Evidently their feet were soothed by the sand. The clarity of the butterflies you photographed made all of this possible.

This is a great photo outstanding detail and focus and the colours are blow away.If i might make a suggestion if you crop it smaller it might be even better. But still great job.10/10

Nice 'nature' shot, but it needs some cropping, because the butterflies are getting lost between the flowers!

Lovely, but I do agree with Twinkel about the cropping.
