Scales of a Morpho Didius, also known as the Giant Blue Morpho.

These blue scales are extremely hard to photograph to begin with, combined with the transparent scales, it posed a great challenge to my lighting and photographic skills. It turned out to be great and I am happy with the result. It's still not the best and there's many places of improvement. Not much detail can be seen in the transparent scales. Lighting needs some more work.

Je cherchais du lin en fleurs mais en quelques jours les graines s'étaient formées et les magnifiques pétales bleus avaient disparu.
Mais juste à côté le chemin entre les champs cultivés s'était transformé en tableau impresionniste. Une douce allée fleurie de coqueliquots, marguerites et autres fleurs sauvages.
I was looking for flowering flax but within a few days the seeds had formed and the beautiful blue petals were gone.
But right next to it the path between the cultivated fields had been transformed into an impressionist painting. A gentle flowered avenue of poppies, daisies and other beautiful wild flowers.

I certainly have mixed feelings about this. Have been trying something new in post-processing and this is the result.
Wasn't sure if I like it or hate it. Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Image taken at Scale Haw Force, one of the many waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales. I took a step back to pay more attention down the stream instead of the waterfall itself.
Focus stacking and blended in the long exposure. Dodge and burn to add light, colour adjustments, added the Orton effect and finished off with a subtle vignette.
Yoshi is ready for a collaborative Brickworld 2013 project with Dan Church and Casey McCoy, but what could it be?
Callipepla squamata.
This Mexican scaled quail owes its name to its 'scaled' crest.
Rummaging about it forages for insects, seeds and berries.
Burgers' Zoo (Desert), Arnhem, the Netherlands.
This shot was taken near Sossusvlei, Namibia. We had to get up really early to get some nice shades.

I have been taking pictures of Beech Scale for a local newsletter which I edit. I am also learning how to put textures into images. Quelle coincidence! I discovered that Beech Scale makes a great sky texture. If you are interested in reading more about Beech Scale disease, go here, to my friend Andy McFarlane's excellent Michigan in Pictutes site:

(I really wanted to name this photo "Black Hole Sun", but I couldn't quite pull it off).
