Autumn Monarch

I’ve entered the word of layering images and it is SO MUCH FUN! After my first week of practice this is the first creation I felt was worthy of upload to RB.

This work of art includes the combination of 2 images – a monarch butterfly, and a black-eyed susan.

I enhanced the colors in 3 sections of the monarch’s wing to tie the colors in the composition together and purposely made the butterfly smaller than life.

I have entered an entirely new world here and am excited at the possibilities that lie ahead as I search through my extensive collection of images for future works :o)

Original floral image.

This is so awesome Renee. I am usually not too fond of real vibrant colors, but this one hits home to me. I wish you much success in your future work with layering – you are off to a rocking start. I too am just beginning to explore this medium and it looks like a blast!

Thank you very much Doug! I’ll be playing with this effect a lot more once the last leaf has fallen and the snow starts to fly :)
