I would like to know what you did. This is pretty nifty! I like how the butterfly looks as if it is getting ready to take off and the effect of the water.

Too square to be hip.

Thank you!

I just used the lasso tool in photoshop to slecet the butterfly and flowers. Then I applied a neon fliter the the back ground and toyed with the hue of it. Then I applied the plastic wrap filter to it. I upped the saturation of the butterfly to make it really stand out and I was done.

That darn object is the cherub statue in my mother's garden. Originaly it figured in this image, but once I got it into photoshop I didn't like it. I tried taking it out by cropping but that made the image to narrow, and cloning that object out was too obvious. I may try again though.

Thanks for the comments.
