Description

I used a butterfly that I had taken the background out of and overlaid it with about 6 copies of my peacock feathers photo until I had the design right (he even ended up with eyes, but I didn't know it until I printed it out and looked closer.) Then I duplicated the butterfly and made the side view. After that, I did have them hatching out of eggs, but decided that was too wierd. Instead, I made the flower (I thought the petals fell in pretty well). I added a white background, but that was too blah, so I used the difference clouds filter and changed the hue to green, then darkened it because it looked too close to the feather colors. Long story short, only one actual photo is in this creation.

Exif: F Number: 4.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: fired, auto mode, ISO: 125, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 70.20 mm, Model: KODAK Z612 ZOOM DIGITAL CAMERA
