Common Blue butterflies

I took this photo last year, and deceided to experiment with it in PS, firstly I selected the butterfly, desaturated the backround, lightened the image using highlight and shadow, and finely applied the poster filter.
Hope you like the result.

Very effective - gives the image a graphic quality, could you do it with a pure white background?

I tried the poster filter with a selfheal some time ago but didn't think of de-saturating the background, might have to give it another go.

Lovely series - you've got this off to a tee! Would be very saleable for birthday cards I feel?
