Orange

Uploaded: December 06, 2005

Description

f/3.5, 1/60s, 100 mm (35 mm equiv 159 mm), ISO 400. Detroit Zoo near dusk, thickly overcast. Another entry for JOY. This was taken at the same time as the one entered on Tuesday. I did a color overlay layer.

Kate Jackson December 08, 2005

What a beauty Mary!!! The butterfly has a wonderful glow under his wings almost as though it is being reflected off of the flower. Love your choice of colour for the background. #356172

Mary N C. Taitt December 08, 2005

Thanks, Kate, I did that with an orange layer set to overlay. To sort of match and pick up the orange in the wings and flower. Mary :-) #2165442
