Butterfly for a change, I figured I'd posted enough Birds for a while, but there will be more, trust me ... I'm off on a shearwater cruise on Sunday 
THis was taken earlier on this year when it was summer... 5 weeks last wednesday I think it was
THanks for looking at the previous offerings

Its a nice shot, however I think the scales on the white wings have reflected a lot of light, resulting in a slight overexposure.
In CS 4 its easily sorted by using the highlight tool to reduce highlights, as in the mod. If you dont have CS, you can use a layer multiply to darken the wings, adjust opacity to where it looks good, and ten use a layer mask to apply the correction to the wings only, ans the rest is exposed well.
Hope this helps
regards
Willie

Neither could I if I didn't work in eduication!
Have you ever looked at this?
It's something of a poor relation but as a freebie or as an alternative to nothing, it's pretty good.
Bren.
I'll come clean Bren, I've got PS elements 9 as well although it was funded by getting rid of some other stuff I no longer had shelf room for.
Willie,
Yes I realised that last night when I was looking at the book (Scott Kelby - I can recommend it to anyone with LR - in fact I've got a copy for LR1 that may end up on e-bay ...)
Paul,
yes it is less than ideal but I usually take some ext tubes with me rather than lug the bag around with the sigma 180mm macro in on the off chance I might need it.
Thanks for the comments as usual guys, (& Guyess)
Much appreciated
Nick
