Description

I found this little creature resting on a weed, and managed to get this photo before it flew away.

Desaturated, except for the butterfly, contrast levels adjusted. I would've liked to have gotten a photo of a butterfly that wasn't on a bumpy ugly weed, but since I don't come across many butterflies, I'll have to make do with this one for now

Good photograph, nice composition. But personally I would have kept the background colors... +6

Nifty, and different than your usual photo. I like the change because I've been experimenting with the mode as well. Just haven't gotten it correct yet.

It's a Mulberrywing Skipper! Awesome shot. I like the desaturation. It really brings out the butterfly!

WOW that is so cool the way the buttfly came out like out of the darkness and blackness of the backround.. how do you get your camera to cancel out of lightning and stuff? thats friggin amazing.. ive never seen it. Im a pretty begginner at this ......please dont laugh im kinda dumb but I dont think I have a setting on my camera to black&white the backround and make the creature in my shot.........so stunning. O_O;

Desaturation was done in photoshop afterwards. It's a valid technique for improving a photo

I enjoy the b/w and that the butterfly is the only colored object
