 Shot at the Kater Street Garden.

Processing: Like to say it is out of camera, but not quite. I eradicated some glare of the right eye of the bee as well as two of the right legs and did some burning on the extended left leg in the back. Crop. Layer of curves to lighten the darks a bit and a layer of hue/saturation. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.

A powdered bee! Beautiful. I like it that you kept the other flowers in the image rather than just only the bee/flower.

Good Lord, that's good. I get sick of bees and bugs but this is outstanding. He looks like a little velvet guy! Great DOF too~

This is a beautiful shot. I really like how the bee forms a rounded shape over the flower. The yellows in the flower and the bee blend together well.

Beeautiful processing and amazing textures. Did you use an art filter on one layer? Would love to hear the details. Lighting is spectacular.
