took this in august but started processing today and realised that i could create a pollen look in photoshop using dissolve .. of course that's just my take .. but i thought it was pretty serendipitous .. so i'm putting it in the side without a real invitation ..
getting the photograph of the bee is pretty serendipitous too coz whenever i come on one its always a fortunate accident especially when i actually get it in focus .. :)
I like it, roz. I think this step toward serendipity is the same path all those other serendipitarians are talking about. It matters not where in the process this rich madness takes hold.
Many from the macro crowd just want the most accurate photo possible - which in itself is not a problem, especially if you're into bug identification, but rarely is it art. You altered the clinical perfection of your photo in order to accentuate its innate theme. Sometimes in post-processing a photo, we try to bring out something that may not have been easily seen at the snapshot level. To help your photo communicate its esssence, you've gone against the grain, and added grain and made a discovery. Cool!
