This is the fourth in a series of 10 images that I am creating for my senior project. The series is called "Butterfly Flowers". This is a hibiscus with the scales of a Paper Kite Idea leuconoe overlaying the petals. The Paper Kite is native to South East Asia.

Please take a peek at the Detail Image

The Process:
Flowers taken in my studio with my 40D+100mm macro and strobe lighting with a black fabric background.

The RAW files are adjusted and converted to jpg.

The butterflies were taken in RAW as well at the Butterfly House in Whitehouse Ohio with the 300D+100 mm macro and 500D filter

The flowers and butterflies are then combined in Photoshop.

The final images will be printed on dA canvas with "Butterfly I" as a 16 by 20 and the rest as 11 by 14.

Butterfly Flower I
Butterfly Flower II
Butterfly Flower III
Butterfly Flower IV
Butterfly Flower V
Butterfly Flower VI
Butterfly Flower VII
Butterfly Flower VIII
Butterfly Flower IX
Butterfly Flower X


*edit* had to change the coloration of the flower in order to get rid of the weird gray patches

Thanks and I'll take that thought into consideration! It's been awhile since I've done any photography but I'm hoping sometime later this year I can get back into doing some more flower and butterfly work to continue the series :)

This is beautiful! I'm so glad I took John's suggestion to come check out your gallery!!! I love the way you put this together. The comp is excellent, I love the way the dark oink lines draw your eye towards the stamens. The contrasting colors and textures very nice. Plus I love pink and black together. :)
