Here is another photograph from my recent trip to the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. This beauty is a Tiger Longwing Butterfly. This photograph was great straight out of the camera, but I decided to add my touch to it in post. I increased the saturation slightly, added some clarity and contrast, did a small crop, added a vignette, and some lens correction. My favorite part of this image is how you can see the butterfly’s proboscis (tongue) curled up.

I recently visited the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory. I thoroughly enjoyed the warm, humid environment and the many butterfly species found there. I spent quite a bit of time observing and photographing them. This image, a black and red Swallowtail (I believe), is SOOC (Straight Out Of the Camera). It is one of my many favorite images from that day. I love the pop of the red against the black as well as the pink flowers that appear to be glowing in the background.
