Used solarizing filter and desaturation, going for a Sabattier effect.
Canon 50D
Canon 75-300mm IS

OOPS Just realized I'm too early. Oh well, here it is anyway. Bill, feel free to move it to photo art if you feel it is more appropriate there. :smile:

Interesting effect. I especially like the green colors in the flower and the way the butterfly stands out from the rest of the picture. I also like the way the area under the center of the flower seems to glow.

Interesting image Kathy. I particularly like the treatment on the butterfly. I think for my tastes the extended petal at the top takes my attention away from the butterfly some and since I really like that critter, I might be tempted to clone it out or diminish it in some way. Nice work on the processing.

Interesting effect Kathy, but given the color palette of your subjects here and the beautiful was of a background, I'd love to see the original version.
