Bee eye?

[Hazel Grant]

Got to thinking about how a bee might see things, given the many sections of its eye....so here is my imagination's idea of how one bee's eye might see flowers.

[Cheryl Slechta]

Very imaginative, Hazel. How did you do that? Spherize or something else? It's a very neat effect.

[Hazel Grant]

Created a contact sheet of one photo repeated many times. Then spherized it. Pasted the sphere on a flower background that I'd cut the eye flower from

[Cheryl Slechta]

Thanks, Hazel, it turned out really well

Clever stuff, and unique effect, Hazel. I never would have thought of it.

[Kerry Perkins]

I'm forever amazed at the creativity that is shown here in OOTB! What a cool, original idea and the result is truly wonderful. I like how you manipulated the opacity of the spheroid so the tulip behind can be seen. Very nicely crafted image!

[Dennis Bishop]

The ball with the tulips in the background is a great combination. I agree with Kerry about being able to see through the ball. That was a very nice touch.

[Anita Bower]

Amazingly creative and imaginative. No wonder bees buzz around and around. Well done.

[Paul Lagasi]

Nice work, very creative image, thats why I am here. Love this group

[John Ippolito]

I guess I was half asleep last night when I first commented. I failed to notice that the background image is so visible through the sphere. Again, Very clever, and nice work, Hazel.

[Nancy Bell]

Wow! This is super creative and amazing! Being able to see through the sphere is very subtle, and very effective. Thanks for sharing your technique. However I am not familiar with "contact sheet" as a PS option. Or is it from some other software?

[Dan Brown]

Very creative, Hazel! I might brighten the whole thing a bit but it is nicely done.

Greetings. I didn't nothice this until I read your comment, John... (just working through my first cup of coffee ;-) That's what is so eye-catching (;-) about this image. Good show!

Cheers,
