Above, I tried to place the butterfly in the corner to take advantage of the shape of a butterfly's wings. Not bad, considering how quickly I had to snap the shutter! Not sure if I'm explaining myself well or if you can see what I tried to do? Below I inverted the butterfly on Photoshop. I think this trick works well with metallic objects and black and white photos; however, I like this image nonetheless.
Finally, I chose to create an image of the entire butterfly with no alteration whatsoever. I had so many other ideas but wouldn't you know the butterfly had better things to do! I took about twenty five images in 30 seconds. I also would have preferred if the butterfly had landed on a flower or something more attractive but again the subject doesn't always cooperate! An unlikely find at Walgreens, this butterfly was flying around a construction area. Who cares that all those workers wondered what the hell I was doing...get back to work!

Such extravagence of black and white and black and yellow contrast..I like the last ,it is well centered and natural color
wow they are stunning great job. I love them.
That second image is really beautiful. You did a great job considering the environment and how fast you had to work.
BEAUTIFUL! I love how you worked the subject...in 30 seconds no less!!! I really like the filter you applied...the colors are so pretty! But I think my favorite is the last image...a la natural!
:-) Wonderful job, Steve! (AND you made me laugh, picturing those construction workers thinking you were some kind of nut...ha...ha!).
That last one is truly amazing. I can't believe it's so perfectly done. The little blades of grass, the rocks, just perfect. Thanks for such a beautiful and innocent shot!
