variegated fritillary on mistflower
Amazing butterfly action in the mistflowers now...
Full disclosure: I processed this with Photoshop's "sky replacement" tool. The photo had a featureless light brown background because of where I took it, pretty blah. I've resisted sky replacement because it just didn't seem "right" somehow. I decided to give it a try here, though, and liked the result. So I'm posting it. I guess the question is - depiction of nature as it is, vs. make pleasing image. The goal really is to do both, I guess, but in this case I decided to accept a rather unrealistic transormation. I can understand that some (most?) would be opposed to this kind of manipulation. I don't do it very often.
