This Weeks Picture Perfect Theme is:
Pleasantville.
Above is the original.
My photo was cropped and then using a Picasa 3 program I turned the colour photo into Black and White. I then highlighted the orange butterfly and a few leaves on the tree into my Bright Colour Highlight. This photo was taken very quickly one afternoon as the monarch butterfly which was sitting on a flower in the foreground, made a sudden departure. I think the butterfly in the garden works very well in this weeks theme 'Pleasantville' from the 1998 movie of the same name. Thanks Heather have a fun vacation.

Beautiful picture ....
ReplyDeleteA nice secluded corner somewhere and a colourful pair of curtains you call a Butterfly? lol
ReplyDeleteThat size?
Ah, the miracles that is modern day photography limited only by the imagination of the photographer.
Imagination? Do think you could do something for me?
Hair perhaps?
I know its Ascot Week and no I don't want a Butterfly Hat. lol
Wow. So you really caught it "on the wing". Great Picture.

Milli, your talents have no bounds. This picture transformation reminded me of the dramatic effect of the girl with the red coat in the otherwise black and white film "Schindler's List."
ReplyDeleteThat's really great, love the way the butterfly stands out!
