Meadow Fritillary (Boloria bellona)

I did some photoshopping to the background of this photo. First I removed a small bit of cow vetch from the extreme bottom left corner and then I added some extra blurring to the background to make it less busy. I don't often do this to my photos but sometimes, since I have smaller lenses that don't blur the background as much as the bigger lenses do, I'll mask the subject in photoshop and add some blurring to the background to make it less busy. My goal is not to make the background buttery smooth but just to make it less busy.
