Original photo was taken in my yard.
Comment's welcome and have a GREAT DAY!!!
Supposed to snow here in WI today!!!
I forgot to write everything I did but here is a lot of it.
I made a duplicate, used gaussin blur on one copy, applied image to the original, history brusy over the butterfly.
I then made a dublicate and flipped it horizontally. I cloned the second butterfly into the photo.
Layers, Many applied images different modes.
Used curves, render filter, cloning, healing, history and paint brush.
