... nearly there

Posted by Helen (Melbourne, Australia) on 3 November 2006 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

After a busy week I am resorting to some holiday snaps. Here is a butterfly I caught hovering in the jungle camp on the lower Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Borneo. I was tempted to play with the colours , but he was so beautiful I satisfied myself with cropping.

I like the colors - those buggers can be hard to capture. You got the shadow too - don't usually see a butterfly shadow.

I agree with Jason. Love the blue against the washed out backdrop.

Great image. I especially like the shadow and how it was distorted.

Thanks for dropping by my blog
