My Nature Photography ~ The "Peacock Butterfly" Digitally Filtered 馃

andy-whalesharesPosted for Everyone to comment on, 3 years ago2 min read

After a quick Google search on English Butterflies I found a picture that had the exact markings on the wings that make this species instantly recognisable. Notice the circular patterns that resemble large "eyes" on the tips of the wings. This is exactly the reason it is named the "Peacock" Butterfly (Scientific Name: [ Aglais io ] 馃檪

Below is another really great information source of many other common Butterflies living in England:

So I have created some "digitally filtered" images entirely from my original photo of this stunning Butterfly. The Photo of this Butterfly was taken on one of my many Nature walks back in the Summer of 2020. The local park woodland is very close to my home in England, United Kingdom.

I have given the original photo a new perspective with three different variants: Oil Paint (Zinc Filtered), Sepia and lastly a simple Monochrome version. The original photo is also included in this post if you scroll down to the last image.

The original photo was taken by me with an Apple iPhone 7 馃摫

Once again the Graphics Software that I used most was "PhotoPea" for the digital filtering and slight brush tool edits. Also my ShutterStock Editor Account was used partly for the "Text Edit" and plain colour Backgrounds.

However, Although I do feel satisfied with the final result... 馃
As always Nature is the ultimate Artist in my opinion!
