Why, hello there. I am so happy to meet you!

Creative idea...I like it!

i think the plastic wrap looks really good.
it really does look like it's in a package.
nice work :)

Thanks for the props.

I think, if I did it again though, that rather than do the plastic wrap effect right on the butterfly image I'd create a "displacement map" in the right shape and tones on a higher layer, "plastic wrap" that and fiddle with the opacity and blending mode to make it look more like it's under a bubble of plastic and less like it's been freeze-dried (although the "freeze-dried" look is, admittedly, kind of cool).

I'm especially happy with how the "crimped edge" of the plastic turned out. I did it by creating a white shape layer using the rounded rectangle tool under the plastic-wrapped butterfly and then applied the pastic-wrap filter after some careful fiddling so it created a crimped edge without also adding unwanted artefacts elsewhere.

I'm also glad I thought of adding a sliver of depth to the "cardboard" by duplicating the original shape layer, changing the fill of the lower layer to a medium grey and shifting it down and to the right by a few pixels. It's a subtle thing but I was impressed by how much it improved the image overall.

Interesting idea, but the plastic wrap filter (or what looks to be like it) actually makes this specimen look more like a plastic toy than a preserved animal.

The wrap doesn't work well around the antenna.
