08Oct05 Gladiolus Butterflies - 6173

Photo a Day, Day 192...A Spring-ish shot in the middle of Autumn... Today was just one of those days where you just want to sit inside and read a long book... very windy and lots of rain... Of course that doesn't really help much when you're doing Photo a Day... I was piddling around and a bunch of petals fell off of the Gladiolus and I thought... hmm... wonder if I could make a butterfly out of the petals... yep... just one of THOSE days... Background was fabricated... or more precisely cloud rendered, gaussian blurred and then blended with a 'sketch > chrome' duplicate... in Photoshop... because my counter was just plain boring...

Wow Cj this is impressive! Your talent with PS shines on this one
and I like it very much! You got our weather I see, not much to look forward to for a few more days either.
