A work in progress! Hi! My name is Melinda. I am happily married to the love of my life and we have a daughter who is in college. I live in Southern California and I am an amateur photographer. My husband bought me my Kodak P880 for Christmas in 2006. I looked at it and thought I'd never figure it out! I've only taken regular every day snapshots and never looked through the lens in a "creative" way. Then in March 2007 someone introduced me to Renderosity.  In May, I became brave and decided to upload my first photo... I haven't been able to put my camera down since! LOL. I still have a lot to learn, but I sure am having fun doing it. I have come a long way though. This time last year, I couldn't even put a photo on the computer! Now I have started to research DSLR cameras ... Who knows what the future brings! Update: I now have that DSLR :) Was the best Christmas (2008) gift!   I did the research and picked it out and Santa put it under the tree. It's a Canon Rebel Xsi .

I have a new DSLR, the Canon 7OD. A gift from my husband for Mother's Day. So much to explore!

Terrific focal effects! The insect looks as close to being a butterfly version of Batman as you can get, in this fine foto, Melinda! And, what wonderful winter and spring weather did we have this year! I don't remember us having a wonderful winter and spring. Agreed, we had a few puny rainstorms, but that was it. Otherwise, twelve months of summer in So. Calif. Boring!

I like this immensely! I'll comment on the others in this series just as soon as I can get to them, but I have to say at least one thing about this one. I love the stark colors. Everything seems green, white, or black, which really focuses the attention as there are no other colors to distract you, and well...that's one flagrantly fantastic butterfly. Subtlety is not a butterfly trait, and that's one of the reasons I like them so much. I'm gonna have to go and find out what this little guy is. VERY nice work!
