My try at processing I quite like it
I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

now where did I put my epi-pen? :o)... great shot, a little too close to the bone this week for me, allergic and with a bees nest in the backyard... YIKES.. but this is a great close up... a good view of the little critters that are making my life interesting :o) Splendid image Deb! The detail is delicious!

@Kylie Greenan: thanks Kylie its a bit serious when you need an epi-pen isn't it ring the exterminators to get them out of your backyard

Lovely shot Debbie - the detail and colour in the bee is outstanding, and the desaturated background does make it stand out.

An exceptionally fine macro here . . although I do find your handling of the color a little severe : perhaps more gentle dilution of unwanted color might have been more pleasing.

wow -- a striking macro! wonderfully captured, and what beautiful detail! i love the soft lighting and bravo on tackling the new challenges of post processing!!! what program are you using? did you get photoshop! what fun!

@dj.tigersprout: Only using picassa which has spot colour which is why the edges are so rough. About to try to tackle photoshop again but find it quite difficult to use

Wow! Love the detail of the bee - awesome macro. The processing is neat, too, but I'm fascinated with the bee.
