"Water Nymphs" Edited: 04/17/06

This congregation of butterflies was on a tiny little island in the middle of Purgatory Creek. It's the same shot as "Butterfly Orgy", but since I didn't capture enough of the creek the first time around, I must admit I used the flood filter to recreate it. Hopefully, it doesn't look too fake.

Beautiful capture! Wish it was a little closer for more detail, but I know how flighty butterflies can be. Your color for this shot is perfect. Love how you captured not only the big swallowtails, but those little pewtery looking ones at the same time!

Nice colors and I love the water ripples. Is this real water, or did you use the flood filter? If you used the filter you did a very good job

I do want to add that I think the cluster is really cool, just for the "nymphs" idea I think seperate would have allowed for some fun.

Wow...never seen them near water like that. too bad they weren't seperated , then someone could Photoshop in some human bodies to the wings. :)
