This is wonderful! It looks so composed, yet you say it "just happened". That's a moth with some artistic endeavor!

Thank you. Yes, I ran to get the camera...yet the lil guy didn't move for a long time. He landed on an hourglass I have on my desk...which might be a nice photograph unto itself some day Thanks so much for your kind comment and taking the time to look!

Thank you. It was a fluke. The moth landed right in front of me on my desk and landed on an hourglass I have there. I grabbed a camera (sitting next to me) What a fun fluke..

Thank you for your support.

Thank you so very much. I am so glad for the features today I was blessed to get a couple...cause some random deviant felt the need to belittle a DD I gave then came and belittled my work...Sooo the features were my feel good! Thanks my friend!

Oh dear, you are most welcome - but that is somewhat alarming! It's always so strange how some people react to a DD ...the psycho-dynamics are unfathomable. Well, I can assure you I am certainly very appreciative of you and your whole gallery is a great source of joy and pleasure for me ....and now that I have your attention, I'd like to take the opportunity to tell you how impressed I am by your work and in particular the dA Love Day project.

Thank you... funny thing is another moth just like that has happened upon my desk..I was going to photograph it..but didn't. I guess that goes to show that sometimes we let those rare moments slip by even when they drop in our lap!!

Thank you again..for everything.

This is wonderful--the similarities between the moth and the sun picture are fantastic! (Not to mention how sharp and vivid the moth is…)

Thank you so much. I have been encouraged (on this site) to do a photo still of the Hourglass that the sun is painted on. I will send you a note when it is done. Thanks again!!

rhapsouldize [2007-05-19 19:25:01 +0000 UTC]

this shot is wonderful... i love the contrast between the butterfly and the background. however, is there any way you would consider removing the watermark? it interferes with the image, in my opinion, and it's so beautiful!

shell4art In reply to rhapsouldize [2007-05-19 20:38:00 +0000 UTC]

I am trying to find an alternative, perhaps uploading smaller images. I had one on Webshots featured and this week it had 25K views..I am getting nervous. I don't want images stolen.

rhapsouldize In reply to shell4art [2007-05-19 20:56:49 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i just started putting my name on my images. you should just put a small watermark in the corner or something... it's easy to make.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

shell4art In reply to rhapsouldize [2007-05-19 21:11:53 +0000 UTC]

yes, I sign all of my images..but they can be cropped I will make them smaller..as I have done 1/2 gallery now..and some keep the ugly DA watermark on until I finish that task (create a WM for each piece) It would be nice if DA would disable "right click" to save. Then we could protect our images.

Beautiful!
You are so lucky to have captured a picture of such a beautiful animal!
The beautiful colors are kind of diminished by the watermark though
Still, amazing pic!

I try so hard to photograph butterflies, but the shutter sound on my camera is so loud it usually scares them away Amazing shot
