Butterfly Garden C&C

Stopped on my way home today at our butterfly conservatory. I found myself struggling in two areas. One was the uneven lighting from the dome glass roof and.

Beautiful butterflies! I really like the second one! Very sharp in my book! In the third shot, the leaves are too overexposed but in the second one I really like the lighting on the leaf at the top of the butterfly. If it wasn

Hey Tom,


Great work, they

LOL!!! Me too! I thought it was a two-headed snake with VERY big heads! I had to really re-focus to figure it out! I have to lay off the booze! Just jokin
