Pollen Pool

Caught this little guy skinny dipping one morning. :D
Used Adobe Pixel Bender – Oil Paint filter layer blended in CS5.
All C&C welcome.

Steve, Very creative and fun! I just love the way the filter rendered this. The bee looks so cute and the BG is very interesting with all the swirls. I might crop a slight bit off the bottom to eliminate some of the dark area if it were mine.

This is very creative, Steve. I love those bg swirls. Great effect from filter. Enjoyed the humor :p

Love the background patterns and colors of this one. I do wonder if you have a bit more detail to give to the bee. Nice job!

Nice image and application, Steve.

Like the filter effect on this one. :cool:

Steve,

Greetings. I think this one needs a little rotation... Bee? I thought it was a smiling grasshopper a la Bug's Life ;)



A fun shot!

Cheers,

Thanks everyone for your comments and vision. :)
This cropped repost has a bit more detail but I'm sticking with the original orientation ;) Smiling Grasshopper??? ... How about a pollen mustache! :D

Somehow I missed this when it was posted. I love it! The flower, bee and water all look great with your use of the filter. I like the OP image as is!

Thanks a bunch, Judy!
