Thanks. Bearing in mind that the butterflies are in focus, yes, the branch in the foreground is slightly out of focus, then comes into focus where the butterflies are lighting, and then continues on slightly out of focus again and exists the picture at right, which imo gives the image depth and adds to the overall composition. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 09:10, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I turn into plain support. Hafspajen (talk) 14:28, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Crisco 1492 and Hafspajen: -- That would be great! Just so you know, I'm not using any special editing software on my end. i.e.I use Windows' Paint and also use XnView to handle sharpness, color saturation and hue when needed. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 16:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Crisco is the man. Hafspajen (talk) 18:56, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
