misc studies ButteryButterfly

I know some photonet users think trying to achieve stock photo

quality is hack work. I would like to get to that point - at least.

Tell me what you think , overall.

Very good detail and colors, the only thing I'd recommend is to lose the heavy frame around the delicate butterfly.

I don't see why this couldn't be used on a postcard. Personally, I think the butterfly, in the midst of the rich texture of the leaves, looks a little flat. You may (if you even want to) be able to experiment with lighting to change this.

Timothy, You have just validated my recent purchase of some Gold 100. Much better than average shot of this type of subject. If you have indeed used fill flash you've done it exactly right as it's not obvious & I looked closely. Best, LM.

I agree with the others. "alittle more light". I do think this is a wonderfull picture! I couldn't have done better myself.
