This is really pretty and an amazing ideas. I love the detail and the light you've used. The fact that it's near enough grey-scale is perfect for the given effect. I want to call them Phoenix Butterflies :3

Yes! I also like the fact that you can see a slight blue tone at the beginning of the wings

If you walk around eaaaaaarly in the morning and search for a fireplace, your chances are quiet high that you get these

The reason is that they love to spend the night a slight warmer place

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful. Do you happen to know why they are attracted to the ashes?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Zoonyx In reply to Skyl0r [2013-06-29 11:48:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanks

The reason is that they love to sleep (or whatever they are doing) at a warm place in night which are cold in Switzerland. Ashes normaly are warm - so perfect for hanging out in the morning where the temperature is quite cold

BritLawrence [2013-06-22 04:04:11 +0000 UTC]

Great shot (: But I agree with the people below me about the lack of contrast and how it would look amazing in black and white. Either way, still an awesome shot (:

Zoonyx In reply to BritLawrence [2013-06-29 11:48:56 +0000 UTC]

It would destroy the fact that they have actually blue wings (If you look closely, you can see them )

It looks kinda surreal which is cool. I like the contrast between the dirty dark charcoals and the pretty butterflies.

Zoonyx In reply to Skadi4 [2012-03-29 07:00:49 +0000 UTC]

Yes they are real !

Idk, I had luck. Maybe because the charcole was warm or something like that
