You are still having fun, I see.
The dark background really brings the butterfly and flower to like.
A very good one, Tigz.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

The butterfly in life size looks very good Sandi. The dark background brings the scene stand out so well.

Maybe a little dark at the head of the butterfly! Nice close-up Sandi.

maybe the background a wee too dark for this one Sandi...

it detracts the eye from the butterfly!...it is good to experiment though

It seems like a half B&W and half color - I think it works but the butterfly does seem a little less saturated.

This is superb and the dark background sure does bring out all the detail and colours in this beautiful looking butterfly.

Think it's the first time that a swallowtail has frightened me somewhat, Sandi. I agree with Bob, because it's a tad tad too dark for me as well, but as always, it's just a matter of taste.

Anyhow a good exercise in improving your skills. And that's what counts, isn't it?

Regards, Cornelius.

Everything is fine about the presentation except that the colors, lavender and yellow are slightly washed out. Probably just a bit too much contrast.

It looks pretty good Sandi. Now tell me what you did. I see you may have darkened the background.

i like the idea, i agree with trixxie on more saturation to the color. will really make it pop more and show off the black/white/color. great idea!
