I like this, 'but' - (and this may sound contradictory to my other comments) - this seems just a fraction oversatured, but it may be the bright lighting. There seems to be a touch of grain, so maybe 'zooming out' just a fraction (in pp obviously) - depending what you have to work with - may help this, otherwise maybe manually 'painting'/softening using a tool/brush in pp. For presumably hand held it's a good capture, with fairly good detail for a macro in natural conditions. Don't intend to be 'painful', but if you know the name of the flower would be good - as I can't quite place it, and no it doesn't matter, I'm just 'wondering'. Also, another reason for 'zooming out', would be that it may balance out the shot a little more, perhaps slightly off-centering the bee may give this a little more overall. Whether more space left or right, not sure - in my opinion, a fraction more space to the right of the wings and some more flower incorporated would probably be good - but again depends what you have originally. I'd hazard a guess that given the ranges in this shot, it is likely a difficult one to adjust the lighting/color/etc in pp. |
