Bumblebee

[Brendan Dozier]

Spotted this bumblebee at the park this morning. Though the capture had a slight blur to it, thought I'd do an OOTB treatment with it. Crop, ACR, CS5, NR, cloned out some flowers on LL, Topaz Details, PB Oil.

Awesome Brendan!!! I'd get rid of 1/2 of the stem....and that's it! That will focus attention on the bee and blooms more.....and put it over the top!!! :cheers:

Brendan, I would crop just a sliver off the bottom. Excellent filtering. I love the color combo too!

[Brendan Dozier]

Thanks very much you guys! Here's repost with crop and a bit more touch-up around bee.

Fantastic repost. I feel like the bee is really flying out of the image! The filter effects are excellent, and the anthers extending from some of the blooms adds a great touch to the compostion.

Love the repost, excellent image. I really like the way the filters have made this bee come to life.

Repost looks wonderful! The filters have done a tremendous job to really make the photo stand out.
