 This is numerous layers of textures over the original image. I think I used 3-4 additional images. I know they were mosses, lichens, and stones. I didn't allow the texture images to overlap the original image's major subjects much - I erased them when they encroached on the butterfly and the flower. One layer I did include was a "hue" layer that muted all of the original image's colors.

It's funny, but I've never been happy with the original editing/pure processing of this image - although I thought it was technically sound (it just didn't give any emotion to the shot). I'm much happier with this version. ;-)

Such an organic feel to this shot - I like how the fuzzy/hair texture of the moth seems to be replicated in the background.

This is sort of sad...the poor thing looks sick and he's got a big hole in his wing.

This is GREAT. I don't think your choice of textures and processing could be much better for this photo. It really adds to it.

Very cool and very well done. A whole new light on the butterfly.

Indeed you should be pleased with this one. It transcends 'image making' and makes it Art.

Oy - another bug - albeit in a beautiful image. (I'm not a bug fan) Very delicate and pretty. The overlay is well chosen to enhance an already perfect image.

This is absolutely STUNNING!

I love how you merged the gentle and 'soft - with the harsh.

Love this. It's absolutely beautiful. I have to figure out how to do bugs! They make such a wonderful subject. Your processing is killer.
