I got quite a kick out of some of my attempts at butterfly swirls from this past month. I thought I'd post a couple so here is my parrotfish swirl and two of my tropical birds. I must have something on my camera lens because I didn't have an TD specks in these bars, yet white stuff is showing up, even in the black. I also am terrible at photos and can't figure out my camera, because these were all taken in the same place, with the same light, with the same camera on the same settings. Go figure (because I sure can't.)

Thanks! I picked the colors because of the Luna moth, which is terrifically beautiful.

I see two ballerinas in the first one. Their arms are outstretched while they're spinning.

They may not be butterflies, but they're absolutely gorgeous! I love really wispy swirls. Great job.

Thank you for your kind comments!

I'm having guilt now. I did a reverse one, using the light green as a background and black, purple and pink as the swirl colors, for the challenge and one looks like a lion fish. I was going to post it with a lion fish picture only to discover lion fish are greatly despised because they are invasive and I saw many pictures of people killing them. Now my poor bars are conflicted!
