Red Admiral feeding, Tintinhull Gardens, Somerset

Tintinhull Gardens, Tintinhull, Somerset

This was taken at the same place as I took the comma butterfly: Tintinhull Gardens ~ a National Trust property, not far from my home.

I took the image into PS CS, copied the section I wanted to highlight onto a new layer, darkened the bottom layer, transferred them both to a new file, enlarged the two layers and centred them, took care of levels and contrast, etc, duplicated the main image, used the glowing edge filter, dropped the opacity to 70% and changed the blend mode to 'soft light', flattened the image, then dropped it on to one of my pre-made frames.

I hope you enjoy the result.

Thanks for looking!

Chris
