Hi all

Was at Umthamvuna today showing a mate from Joburg one of our loveliest reserves. Not much on the wing, but I did get my first ever silicon shots of the Marsh Commodore Precis ceryne. But she had a lot of tatters on her wings - so I decided to flex my Photoshopping muscles. Then I thought... let's see who can spot where I did repairs. Karma to the first one to get it right!



All the best

Steve

Well, I couldn't tell you where you did your editing.. i'd just be guessing, but it's a wonderful shot. Beautiful butterfly.

I think the right wing (camera right) on the inside bottom. Great capture.

Well spotted Lori... but only partly right. Have some K anyway

Thanks...I only know (well partially know ) because I do these things myself at times.

LOvely capture - looks like the repairs worked pretty well !

Hi Brian

Thanks for the compliment... no it's not bottom left wing. This is fun; Lori nearly spoiled things by nailing one of the repairs first off - let's see how long this thread can run for!

All the best

Steve

Perhaps the leading edge of the left wing.
