Columbine swallowtail
This is my first ever use of a “stock photo.” The butterfly is mine, but the columbine flower came from FreeStockPhotos.com
The original photo of the flower was not “fractalized.” (nor was the butterfly)
This image was created using Photoshop elements. There are several layers here, as well as selective use of the fractalius filter.
Thank you for taking the time to view my work.
Have a most excellent day!
