It started out as a negative of the color, with adjustments to the lightness and darkness as I moved the slider in Photoshop. Then I adjusted the hue and saturation so that it went well with the blue glow of the butterfly. After that, I applied a low percentage of one of the filters (forgot which one!) to soften the background a little bit so that it wasn't as harsh. You’re very close on the background!

Is the background just a negative of the color? Very cool image. The glow around the butterfly really puts it over the top. Whoa, that is so cool! Is the background just a negative of the color?
