This picture was taken at Butterfly World. It is all indoors and holds thousands of butterflies. Its a gorgeous place. This was just a little scenery they had in there and me and my father were taking pictures of it. His turned out a lot better then mine, but here is one that I did. It seems to be a little bright to me, but I don't know. Hope you all like it.. Leigh

This would have been really nice with a better camera. It 'is' too bright, but I notice that your camera is overexposing in bright light. In the right lighting situation this would also be much nicer. The light may have streamed through the slats on the bridge. A slow exposure would have made the water fall like a white gas. But, obviously you can not do this with the camera you have at the moment. You definately have an eye for this leigh. I think a month or two with a new camera and hanging out here and you will be producing great photographs. Colm...

Wow its similar to our butterfly museum. Did you know if you sit very still, they will come and land on you? they just perch, and its the most incredible experience. This is so exciting, to get all these views of the world, and habitats, and places. Thank you for posting this. Syyd

If you use Photoshop (although most graphic editors will do), that's very easy: Adjust image levels to your liking, boost up contrast, add a bit of color saturation, and just a touch of unsharp masking. If you want the details on how to use those functions, let me know, and i'll walk you through it. Keep on shooting ;-)
