 i go for a walk on the firetrail most days and its been very very windy lately .. very difficult getting anything in focus ..
anyhooooo .. there's this very small shrub/flower thingy that i pass and the bees and small insects seem to be attracted to it when its not in shadow ..
i'm hoping ppl arent tired of seeing similar looking images for this flower side, but there's not much else around here to photograph .. winter .. not many flowers and i dont get out much!!
a few photographs went into this image .. all taken in the last two days .. the different insects that are so small .. about 2mm or 1/16" .. and the spiderweb with dew on it which was like an overlay .. and a flower pic without the insects ..
this is the workflow ..


and a couple of other images from the same flower ..

Neat. I get the feeling i'm watching fairies when I look at this. It's like I'm viewing something special I'm not supposed to be seeing.

A very believable fantasy, greatly entertaining to look at. I spent most of the afternoon today researching your workflow. That was fun! Thank you so much for posting it!

You do such a good job with these, they always look 'real'.

I think these are fun! This one has a dark side, 'cuz if those little insects fly too close to the web a ginormous spider is going to crawl into the frame and we all know what comes next ==:-O

Great photo. It really does look like a dance, and it has an enchanted quality.

I looked at your workflow and have no idea what all that means! So much for my own ability to do advanced editing. :-)

I too like the colors. But in all honesty. . . for my taste. . . this one is not one of my favorites. Sorry!

Oh! Come on, patio, she's good but not THAT good!
