Anna's vs Bee

[Gus Hallgren]

Hi Folks:

The Bee was more manuverable than the Anna's Hummingbird and therefore escaped ~ this time!

This was "Artistic License", Cloning, Brush Tool, Eraser, Background eraser, Exposure fiddling, bit of curves, cropping, selective sharpening, over all tiny bit of sharpening in Lab Mode & Smart Sharpening, adding Bee I photographed in same session and a round in Corel Painter 4.

Uncle Gus aka MP.

CC's welcome and always appreciated.
