Description

I usually get a lot of Tiger Swallowtail Butterflies in my garden. Their main likes, as far as flowers are usually the orange Lilies, orange Zinnias, and Butterfly bush. Perhaps it is the colors orange and purple that they prefer, because they also like my coneflowers and they are purple and so is the butterfly bush.
The original image of these orange lilies was taken in my garden in Southern Oregon. The image of the Tiger Swallowtail butterfly was also taken in my garden and was added as a hand painted composite image. I applied the texture as a background and processed the final image in Nik Color Efex Pro and Photoshop's Oil Paint Filter.
