It seems next few weeks I am going to post a lot of butterfly photographs. But the Butterfly Wing in Reiman Gardens in Ames, Iowa, is such an incredible place to visit and photograph. The moment you enter there, notice all the movement around you, the commotion, the colors- it is an incredible feeling.
This photograph of an owl butterfly was so naturally gray, that I did not resist temptation and just removed from view the green color of the leaves in the background, to put stress on the butterfly and its adjustment to its habitat. I actually used Lightroom preset BoonDoggle 2 (I have no idea what it means! I also cannot currently find, where I got this preset from, I did quick check on Google and turned out bunch of forums, but nothing looking like a legitimate link).
