A butterfly photographed at the Cockrell Butterfly Center at the Houston Museum of Natural History, Texas, USA.
Not sure how this is going to do. I have used this processing on two other challenges and the images did pretty well, so I am hoping for another good showing.
This will also be my first challenge entered with my new Voigtlander Nokton 42.5mm f0.95. The lens is a little soft wide-open and with the very narrow DoF at this close distance I got the effect I was after, a very soft dreamy looking photograph.

This is so pretty! I don't care for the landscape presentation though...I keep turning my head to the right almost automatically. But I LOVE the soft colors and focus!
