if you can shorten the top of the sky, it'd be a nicer image IMHO. 6

Butterfly Fantasy

Comment:
I am simply questioning the integrity of a shot that is nature-like. I mean, most of the people who voted thought it was real probably, had they know it wasn't, the results would be much different. Then there is that ethics question of shooting nature photographs and present it as a nature photograph even though it's fake. How would someone like it if National Geographic prints out a photograph of a snow leopard (very difficult to find) and it was simply a cut and paste from a previous photograph? People would be pissed. It's just ethics. If these were three REAL butterflies with increased saturation, that's one thing.

I knew these were fake butterfly, hence the 2 vote, you can tell by looking at the perfect colors of the butterfly wings, which doesn't happen in nature, also the edges of the wings, looks like it's CUT from paper.

We already have what, a ton of photos with hue adjustments and shifted colors FOR NATURE shots (which i consider blasphemous), but this one is worse. It's just like spot editing an image by inserting elements that weren't there before. I don't care for other shots, but for nature shots I'd expect real photographs, not fake ones.

Man, if you can focus on the reflection of the field with the trees (more zoom), it'd be much better IMHO.

A little bit underexposure would be better -- i'd like to see the bird in a sillhouette, right now it's not and you can't see the details. Just about 1/2 stop under would allow the bird to be completely black, would be more effective. 7
