What a beautiful image!

That’s lovely, John.

Thanks for the comment both of you.

It looks like a lot of work has been done to isolate this  John  and  I like the  innovative almost inverted  shadow /reflection that you've made behind the butterfly  which gives an unexpected depth to the image... I think when you  do as much work to achieve an image like this  others may appreciate it even more if you  show what the original image looked like ...  I can see this on a greeting card especially ...   A  striking  image John ...

Thanks Polly.  I will post the original but as a separate post I think.  Given the current flurry of Natural history images,  it probably stands in it's own right.

Good Idea ...I've just looked at it ...but I'd add a  link on each post  cross referencing  them if I were you ..

Thanks Clicks.  Done although this post wouldn't create a link for me.  OK the other way around though.

I will say this, there is a lot of talent on here, Surely you sell creations like this John?

Beautiful John - such gentle colour and a lovely subject, well done!!

Thanks both of you.  No Denis, I've always been a little wary of mixing the pleasure of my hobby with business.  I had someone wanting to buy a mono print that was being exhibited at a local exhibition and I was tempted but I just didn't know what to charge.  I should have spoken to Paul.  I believe he has had a fair amount of success on the internet.  But in the end I didn't.
