Using photos as embellishments

For these pictures of the butterflies at Wisley gardens, I wanted to evoke the feeling of being surrounded by the tropical plants and insects in the glasshouse. Instead of letting the photos dominate as I usually do, I hid them amongst various 'natural' embellishments, including butterflies cut out from extra photos so they merged together. The title/journalling is also quite unobtrusive. This is an unusual layout for me but I like the effect.
