Free Colors (orton version)

Yes Percy… It is the same thing I guess… but I tried this for the first time this week… it is a “notion” that some call “Orton” here… apparently because the guy that started that (in old style photography) was called “orton”...
I thought that I should give it a try… :)
Thanks for the comment… :) And the appreciation… :)

It’s such a peaceful photo… what’s free colors and orton?

Don’t mind me… I found free colors!! It’s beautiful!!

I love the deep red colors and detail in the butterfly

lol… Thanks Georgiegirl and Hank…
Georgiegirl, you made me laugh when you came back to say that you found out… lol
I guess that you know now… ;)
Thank you both for your kind comments.. :)

lovely image,great work

Thank you Mick… It is a work done from the original I posted this week… (Free colors)... :)

well ‘ortoned’ – it works realy well

looks great crokus… very nice effect!

I love the softness that you got with the Orton technique! It really gives the shot a classical feel. Now I’m inspired to try it with my butterfly shots. :)

Photogenique, andy and EcGardner I am so glad you all like this “ortoned” version… and I am glad that it allows for inspiration… let me know ECGardner when you get your “orton” butterflies… :)
Thanks for the greatness that you all share… :)

Oh the sweet softness to this image, I love the Orton version. Colors are perfect.

Thanks Sherri… I tend to see this one as if it was a dream… :) it is indeed the softness that I wanted to stick out.. :)

Beautiful image very well done.

Thank you so much Bluetiger… :)

elegant, beautiful, divine.

Well, you most definitely got the ‘dreamy’ look, how gorgeous, it’s so lovely, a bit vintage or something because its so soft?!, I too am inspired by the ‘Ortoning’ it’s a very interesting effect, I love it, Into my faves it goes!!

Great shot by the way, i noted you said it was your first time photographing butterflies?, I have also just started to take butterfly shots, but i have had them coming into the house!, i’ve yet to take any on flowers!! Soon, soon. You did VERY well indeed, i’m impressed.

Very Beautiful Image. I know how tricky these lil guys can be to photograph as they are very fast and don’t rest for very long. You did a great job in your capture of this guy. Great work.

lovely image, great display of colour, well done

Fantastic image,, I love the softness and colors

Great shot !
Love the softness in the photo.
