This is one of three image that I am exhibiting at our photo club's latest exhibition. The club is Nature and Wildlife Photographers of Long Island. The exhibit will take place at the Sachem Public Library for the entire month of November. If any of you happen to be on Long Island, NY, and feel like stopping by, I'd be thrilled to meet you. In fact, our opening reception is Nov. 5th, but I'm not sure exactly what time. I extend herein an open invitation.

Anyway, this photo is of a Monarch that I took a few years ago, and this was an experiment that I was pretty happy with. I was looking through some old images for a distinctly Fire Island kind of image, when I came across this. I reprocessed it with Lightroom, using one of the selective color presets, selecting, obviously, orange. I had it printed by Bay Photo onto a 12" x 18" high gloss aluminum sheet. I love photographing butterfies. But, I have to ask myself, "How many monarch butterfly images do I really need?"
