Seasonally dimorphic, the fall form of this species with strong lavender edging and predominantly orange coloration on the dorsal hind wings will overwinter as an adult. It will be one of the earliest butterflies to fly in spring and may even be encountered on warm winter days in early February. This butterfly does not rely on floral nectar, but prefers to sip flowing tree sap, carrion and dung. Male butterflies love to puddle and are notoriously territorial meeting any intruder that enters their territory.
After a disastrous captive breeding programme this year, I may have success with a batch of 10 Question Mark butterflies. This 40mm final instar Polygonia interragationis larva is about to pupate; the other nine caterpillars have already formed their chrysalis on the Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) food plant.
The Question Mark is a nymphalid butterfly and is the largest of the Polygonia (Comma) species from North America. It lives in wooded areas, city parks, generally in areas with a combination of trees and open space.

Questions: (A) What is it? - and (B) What should I call it?
Can you think of a good Artsy title or name for this happy little quasi-accident of a shot?

#6 in the series. The "Question Mark" is named from the two silvery marks in the middle of the underside of the hind wing.

this is one of my favorite pictures from an entire day at warped tour.
i have a lot of live performance photos to edit and i'm not looking forward to it. a majority of them are horrible! i love concert photography, i just despise having to upload them.
i'm seeing the summer set tonight! :) fun fun.
fact #5: it's upsetting to know that people i've never spoken to personally perceive me to be the person i am not.

Ok, so first of all, the photo is completly irrelevant. People like IW so you know, I guess it's 'clickbait' in a way. Also, I guess, sorry for not posting, I'm on holiday so, you know. Plus all you lads follow lots of lads who post like 5 times a day so, you got lots to look at. Ok, on the the question...
So, I've been thinking about this for a while. Would you guys rather have quality, or quantity. Like would you rather have like one or two customs that take like 5-8 hours to make, a week? Or like five or six trash figures a week? I personally like to take my time with my figures. Like, my AK Scarecrow took me like 2 weeks of on and off work to make, and I think it came out really good. Compared to my Kingpin figure which took me like two days and I really don't like the look of him.
So really, quality or quantity?
Post your thoughts below mates.
Oh, and don't be a prick, don't post a photo saying "OH SNAP ______ DIED IN INFINITY WAR. OH SNAP." Because me, and lots of other lads don't want to get the biggest movie of our lives spoiled.
I feel that photography isn't all about the pretty pretty images we see all the time, Its capable of much more, Posing questions as Why, What, Where, And create emotion whether pleasant or not.

What is reality? Is it an image? A reflection of an image? Or is it what we see?
Well... no to all of these. So the question remains an intriguing one. And the more I read about human perception the more intriguing it becomes: our minds don't see what our eyes do…
(And if, perchance, you find your curiosity piqued, ask yourself the question why are tiger and zebra stripes vertical and not horizontal. It’s not an accident and nor a creative whim, and the answer is relevant to photography too….)
This is for the Smile on Saturday group’s Reflection on Black theme.
It’s a visual tease of course. There are three questions in the puzzle:
What is it?
Which way is what?
Where’s the mirror?
All easy to answer, but if your eyes pause even for a moment as they work it out I will feel I have succeeded in my objective.
Curiously, for me, I found it much more obvious looking at the thumbnail than at the full-screen version. And that itself is a comment on our perception I think....
I read somewhere, and it’s true for me, that a photograph that takes the mind a little while to work out generally will be perceived as a more interesting one. And that is why we find record shots and clichéd images less engaging than the creative ones - sometimes just changing the viewpoint makes capture interesting (we all take our images at head height don’t we lol.)
This is part of a set I took 18 months ago, though I only processed this particular perspective today. If you want confirmation of what it is you can rummage through my photostream to find out...
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image! Happy Smile on Saturday :)
[Tripod mount; delayed-release. Black background on black glazed ceramic tile, side-lit with LED torch.
Processed in Capture One using levels to make things blacker and then balancing the light to give some detail in the reflection. Enhanceds colours, particularly the blue and the orange. Because I like them :)
Used a gradient masked layer to brighten the reflection part to decrease the disparity in lightness against the source.
Nik Color Efex Pro for a Classic Soft Focus effect to introduce a glow to the highlights. This was a bit over the top so I blended the effect layer back into the original using Darken mode.
Flipped vertically. For fun.
Then we were done :)]

There’s long been a philosophical question of whether art is more likely to imitate life (mimesis) or life is more likely to imitate art (anti-mimesis).
Oscar Wilde a champion of anti-mimesis, opined in his 1889 essay The Decay of Lying that, "Life imitates Art far more than Art imitates Life". In the essay, written as a Platonic dialogue, Wilde holds that anti-mimesis "results not merely from Life's imitative instinct, but from the fact that the self-conscious aim of Life is to find expression, and that Art offers it certain beautiful forms through which it may realise that energy.
The title of this portrait arose from the evolution of the piece itself. I've been coming to cat-sit in London since 2015 and this is my third stay. I noticed this graffiti in Crouch End the very first time I came, but somehow all the best intention of pulling together a portrait dissolved during the trip and once again it was left an unrealised idea.
This year I promised myself I would attempt it, even if it didn't work, I would at least try. It took 30 mins of trying to find something I liked. This composition is something I have done before several times during this project.
Originally I wasn't wearing my yellow coat, but after 30 mins of shooting it was getting cold and starting to rain so I didn't care. It was then I realised that I was actually dressed to match the graffiti which has happened before in the past :) Sometimes Art can imitate life :)
No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful? --Annie Dillard

Ok Woodsman! Your ego isn’t too humiliated?
I just want to put your ego knockout! :)))
Woodsman, do you realize how many sexual acts I see in spring and summer around my stream? :)))
Yesterday I asked to you these questions: do you see that your desires are the expression of your insatisfaction about your past, your insufficiensies? and do you think it’s the samething with the sexual desires?
You answered you were not sure!
Woodsman, you certainly know that your sexuality is the source of all the energy? Right?
Do you realize that in the life of all the people the sexual acts with their lover are the closer experience to the unity…. the closer experience to your return to the unity?
But also, do you realize too that your sexual attirance for the women is always caused by your separation of the unity?
Do you see better now that your total satisfaction is impossible as much as you’re separated of your lover… of the others…. of the light… of the nature?
Ok Woodsman, that’s all for today! Tomorrow my questions/story will be on the difference between you and me!
:)))… to be continued tomorrow…!

Today at university a girl asked a question about God and his mystery... in few words my professor replied with the quote written..
I love listening and discovering how people think.. Even if their answer might be incomplete..one day it will be complete.
An age old question - is it the color that defines a rose, or is it the delicate beauty and softness of its petals?

We all love photography judges who give us first place, but when our photos slide past unnoticed, well, the judges are simply Philistines. Can't they recognise our brilliance!
There is a part of me that would prefer not to judge photography competitions because all I can offer is a subjective opinion. And often I am asked to provide a comment or suggestion as to how a photograph could be improved or strengthened. Essentially I am being asked how I would have photographed or presented the image to get a higher score. Should I be doing this?
Recently, I listened to judges discuss one of my prints which had a grainy, black and white finish. One said that he didn't know why I had applied the finish as it wasn't something he would have done – and maybe it would be better without the finish.
This set me thinking: does this judge mean that unless I create photographs the way he does, he won't give me a high score? And if this judge doesn't like grainy black and whites, does that mean he will never score such entries highly?
To be fair to the judge in question, he was trying to be helpful by making a suggestion as to how the image could be improved.
So let me give another example. I am not a big fan of HDR (High Dynamic Range) photographs, but I gave an HDR photograph first place in a competition not so long ago. Personally, subjectively, I didn't like the photograph much, but as an example of its kind, it was superlative.
I think that from time to time, judges have to step aside from their biases and judge the photograph as an example of its kind. Perhaps the judge looking at my photo should have assessed it on the basis that the entrant chose to submit a grainy black and white print: was this a good or bad example of its kind?
So, what's different when I'm critiquing a photograph that I think could be improved? For instance, I find a white sky incredibly distracting, so I suggest that the photographer could have found a different camera angle, crop the image, or somehow darken down the sky to improve it. What's the difference between this advice and suggesting that a photograph would be better if it wasn't a grainy black and white?
Context.
In the first situation, the judge seemed to acknowledge that the underlying technique was good, it was the final finish he didn't like. He didn't say the finish was over done or poorly handled, just that it wasn't necessary. So perhaps he didn't judge what had been presented, rather he judged what hadn't been presented.
In the second situation, the base photograph with the bright sky was not communicating correctly and a different approach was required. (In my opinion, I know.)
The difference is subtle and it's not always possible for a judge to know if an entrant is investigating a genre of photography or just doesn't know any better. That's the problem with judges – and for judges. Often we just don't know.
So while a part of me doesn't like judging, on the other hand it's something I greatly enjoy. I love being exposed to different styles of work and new ideas. It is incredibly inspirational and so are photo competitions. Of course, you probably don't expect me to say anything different. Our inaugural International Landscape Photographer of the Year Award has had around 2000 entries, but if you missed out, we'll be announcing our annual Better Photography Photograph of the Year Award later this month!
So, the problem with judges is what?

Hi guys! Are there ANY body normalmaps that are compatabile with EEO face normals?
I'd release her but I want to keep EEO face normals..and there is neckseam (not much visible with Somber but in some ENS setting this may me a big issue).
