This was a personal project in which I wanted to spruce up a scanned photograph I took while at Mount Tohma Botanical Gardens.

I blurred the background to remove the graininess from scanning the photo and also to help draw the focus onto the butterfly. I also adjusted the colours to make the image much more vibrant.
