“Working Boy”
<O:p</O:p

Note: A textured sandstone oil finished was applied for visual impact.

This hungry little guy was busy sampling the various flowers in the garden. He was painted with a Nikon D300s, using a Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 D macro lens with a 12mm extension tube.

Image Solution:
focal length @ 105mm / exposure mode @ aperture priority / in camera matrix metering / 1/125sec. - f/22 / exposure comp @ -0.7EV / ISO @ 320 / white balance @ cloudy / AF - Mode @ manual / color space @ sRGB / lighting solution - Nikon R1C1 wireless close up speedlight system; both light units set to minimum fill flash with a wide dispersal pattern and attached diffuser. / tone comp @ +1 degree / hue adjustment @ +1 degree / saturation factor @ +2 degrees / support platform – monopod assist.

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

I like the green background and the yellow which looks like the sun. Bee is very sharp and the oil texture gives this an artsy feel. Well done Gus.
