Shot at the Kater Street Garden. Not sure of the type of skipper it is but I am fairly certain it is of a folded wing variety (as opposed to the spread wing variety). AND...the do not call them skippers for nothing. Jumpy little things, about an inch long, sans antennae, and they skip and hop all over, never staying in the same place too long....especially for some dottering imbecile to get a good shot of him whilst fumbling with his camera. But every so often comes together quite nicely.
Post: Camera Raw adjustments in PS Elements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. USM. Spot edit dust. Crop. Crop. And Crop some more....but not too much. Resize. USM.

Can I just say I'm jealous? I've been trying to capture an image like this for awhile now (same type of flowers and butterfly) and they have all been failures.
