Challenge: June Free Study (Advanced Editing II)
Camera: Nikon D70
Location: My back garden, London, UK
Date: Jun 7, 2004
Aperture: f8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/250
Galleries: Nature, Macro
Date Uploaded: Jun 9, 2004

 Took the original in my back garden on monday.
Was using the macro lens in the garden.
I got some really nice florals but this was a different one as I don't normally like bees.
The original pic was wider angled and rotated differently and the flower the bee was resting on was too in the focus, not giving enough emphasis on the bee.
So i cropped and rotated the image to focus entirely on the bee, and did one "sharpen" in PS to make the bee hairier.

I chose this pic ultimately because i was really glad I managed to get such a decent shot amidst the larger picture. Just shows that sometimes all it needs is a few snips here and there to get a good photo in the frame.

Doesn't meet the challenge brief. Good luck. ;)

Cute bee. Just needs better focus and a little less inactive space to the right.

Just a little dark and unsharp.

I don't like the angle of view (would at least expect to see the head and eyes) and the bunble bee itself is rather dark.
