I took these shots a few years ago and pretty much this is the photo how it was taken. Very minor edits with Picasa. I am looking into selling posters and wondering if these look good enough the way they are. Do they need help? Be honest?

# 1, maybe. #2 is much too dark. #3 is okay, but the angle of the butterfly is more interesting in # 1. even the first one could use a bit of brightening... there's detail in the butterfly's wings and body that you're not seeing because it's too dark.

do you have an outlet that's going to market this for you? are you planning on printing yourself? remember, posters sell for cheap, and you need a way to print lots of them at very low cost in order to make any money.
