Here's another version that might be better.
I like the repost, Judy...you toned down the highlights in the BG and it was very effective. Nice job with PixelBender...beautiful, rich colors and the bee in flight makes the image. Nicely done!
Thanks John! Yes I like the repost better. When the OP appeared here I thought it was too bright so I took the original version with just Topaz Adjust and PB and layered it over the OP and lowered opacity so that it has a bit more detail but is not so bright.
I like them both and really can't make up my mind...The effect rocks and the bee really fit's well....nice work
Judy, I like the second one better... subdued white edges gives a softness to the image. Nicely processed.
Another vote for the repost Judy. Beautiful soft colors enhanced by the filtering. I think the subdued highlights do look better.
