Another attempt at sharing one of my favorite miracles - the monarch! Have you ever seen them move from caterpillar to chrysalis? Or chrysalis to butterfly? Do you know how they break out of the chrysalis? If not, check out Miracle and Miracle, too!

Ah, excellent rework, Hilda. Although I still like the stronger framing on the original, this works as well too, and I see that you've used a technique or two to give us a better view of the flower on which the butterfly is resting. Nicely done. Your links should be viewed by anyone that's interested in how these beautiful creatures evolve and come to give us so much beauty and pleasure. Nice post, my friend :)PJ

Very lovely presentation Hilda. I like your choice of gentle framing - it focuses the eye on the butterfly's beauty even more.

Beautiful job, Hilda. This is wonderful! Now I have to ask what program you use for the framing. I find that Paint Shop has limited abilities for framework. While I like the other monarch too, I find this framing really shows up the butterfly more. Great work.

Yep, I think that is a lot better....now the eye can focus on the main attraction, instead of wandering off onto the frame!...There was nothing wrong with the frame just the different colouring............Nowt wrong with this..you certainly have done an excellent job on it!....Well Done!..................
