Masking
The monarch was a challenge to mask and maintain the distinct edges. I selected the images as this summer I did not see as many monarchs nor unfortunately honeybees.

Cinemagraph
Although the photo is a bit blurry or pixelated, I love this second attempt at a cinemagraph. I woke up at 3 AM thinking of the examples and how I could create a more interesting clip, after my first attempt was too busy. Hummingbirds do not sit still very often but he obliged my efforts for a brief moment.
