Michael, I really like the feel of spring here. I'm not crazy about the mixed lighting but I think you handled it very well. Nice to see such a refreshing view!! NJ is so gloomy right now.:S3:
Neat spring image, Michael. It is bold with so much to see and enjoy. It seems the bee and flowers have been treated differently and the combination is very appealing! :S3:
A lovely spring photo, your beautiful flowers and the Bee surely depict, Spring is just around the corner.
Gus:cheers:
Beautiful composition, Michael. This is like a beautiful floral arrangement! I love the bee and colors are very nice. What lens and settings did you use for this image?
This was shot with Nikon D300, the 300mm f/4 lens, set at f/11 and 1/400s, handheld. This lens does not have VR, but does focus to 1 ft., so I could get quite close, and got lucky on keeping the bee in focus. As was observed, I did mostly mask out the bee from the Simplify adjust, since I thought the bee looked better as natural. Here is the original as shot.
I meant to add it was taken on Feb. 28, 2010, in Northern CA.
Thanks for sharing the original. Looks excellent!
Nice comp. Love the colors and the bee.:S3:
Lovely composition and colors. I like the pink and orange tones.
