life giving life - a photo on Flickriver

life giving life

life taking life
--
As much as I am not a girly girl, I really like photographing butterflies. It is about what they can represent..a new life, essentially, that I love. This shoot was a joy for me. It was taken in the incredibly lovely evening Malibu light just after the sun had gone down past the mountain. The last of the light was just enough to highlight his skin and give a little pop to the butterflies, and then it was gone. I have a picture of a hot pink cloud to remember the day as well :-)

I'd love to get some feedback on the slightly more monochromatic tones I've been using. While this still has tinges of color, it certainly is not as vibrant as some of the other images I've been creating lately.

Next week is going to be incredibly hectic for me, and I will be hosting Miss Aniela again as well as exhibiting at Photo LA with her :-D
