Re: PESOs -- Monarch of the Daisies.
The white flowers were a little blown out in the second image, so I used a bit of trickery as well as a bit of negative exposure compensation to give them some texture. Boosting the shadows ruined the effect of my other corrections so I decided to post as is. On 2/14/2018 10:38 AM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Very nice!

Besides, the shadow potions of second one (including the butterfly itself) look a bit dark on my monitor. I wonder if a "fill-in" (boosting shadows) would help it shining more.
