This is the 7th in a series of 10 images that I created for my senior project. The series is called "Butterfly Flowers". This particular flower is I believe a Golden Hat Phalaenopsis Orchid. The scales used are from the Atlas Moth Attacus atlas which is native to South East Asia.

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.

These are quite nice, I like the way they flow across the page.

:nod: I really wanted to have a few flowers that had that nice flow across the page feel to them. The next one in the series was actually the first to have that feel so I had to make sure I had a second one that followed a similar trait. :)

Yeah I like the ones that flow all over, it seems more surreal :)

I tried to get a good variety of everything different colors, different types of flowers, different angles, one flower vs. many flowers, subtle patterns vs. well defined patterns, vertical vs. horizontal and part of the flower vs. the whole flower. :)
