Large Tree Nymph (Idea leuconoe)

FAMILY: Nymphalidae

LOCATION: Thailand to Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan.

HABITAT: Tropical forest, coastal, and swamps.

The picture of this butterfly was taken in the Crystal Garden Conservation Center in Victoria, BC.

The Crystal Garden Conservation Centre has closed. It was located in the historic Crystal Garden Building behind the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The Crystal Garden originally contained the world’s largest indoor saltwater pool which operated from 1925 to 1967. In 1980 the Crystal Garden Building re-opened as a conservation centre. The Crystal Garden Building will now undergo structural and seismic upgrading and re-open with a brand new use in 2006.

I did have some comments regarding the fact that the picture posted was maybe too thight.

So here is the original, so you can compare.
Only a double sharpened has been applied.

P.S. Now that I know some more tricks thanks to some of you guys, I can make this butterfly looks way much better... :-)

Thanks

New sharpening technique

Hi Stephan,

It would take me ages to explain everything I did on the sharpen here. You could read up on it at http://www.fredmiranda.com/article_3/ if interested.

It id create a halo around the one antennae though. Guess I have to use a softer setting.

Kind regards
Gerhard
