Not sure what your vision is but I find the screens behind the subject distracting with no easy way to take them out. I processed the whole original image with Topaz DeNoise AI. Cropped the image to about 3x4 inches. Used PS 'Image Size' to increase the cropped image to about 8x9. The butterfly withstands the upsizing well, the screen, while a little remains, is unrecognizable.


My edit I put him in the bottom left to give him a place to fly. Rule of thirds in play as well. I do understand the distraction issue with so much in the background but my intent was keeping the setting I was given.

I do like the cropped version eliminating much of the palms. You are the second to suggest I crop tighter. I am definitely going to play a little more with this one.

In RAW edit, I sharpened, adjusted contrast and saturation. Opening the image, I had sharpened (filter) the butterfly only, adjusted colors, tones and contrast. I had tried Topaz sharpen but liked Photoshops result better. Didn't try DeNoise... gives me more ideas definitely.

A great download of this beautiful Gulf Fritillary!


Thank you. I had not looked him up yet. That helps.
