    Painted Lady Butterfly

    I used an Orton-like effect on this shot. What do you think?

    Erik the shot has quite a few elements that distract from your primary subject.
    I'm curious as to why you applied the Orton effect to this, and had you thought about applying a layer mask to the butterfly so its isn't effected by the orton effect and stands out a little more ?

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Thanks for responding.

    After posting the image, I realized that the light blobs in the background were really distracting and this isn't the best image.

    I was playing around with a bunch of shots using the Orton effect and liked the way it looked in this shot. I may have been too enamoured of a PS technique. I'll try your suggestion of masking the butterfly.
