Description
EVER SO SOFTLY is a composite photograph by Carla Parris.
It features a beautiful gulf fritillary butterfly (one of several monarch look-alikes) which is balanced ever so softly and delicately on a golden cosmos blossom.
The original background texture is from the early stages of a watercolor painting which I created using gauze which was pressed into watercolor paint, allowed to dry, and removed, yielding the intriguing patterns and textures seen here.
The palette is a complementary color scheme of blues and warm tones.
