I like this! Bees run from me when I take pictures of them. Great capture!

gee sorry i didn't comment on this back then - i like it! both subjects are looking particularly soulful, love the stares off into neverwhere. the dof is perfect and it is certainly not oversharpened by dpc standards. you might try making this b/w or sepia someday, it has an old feel to it. (and then i guess you can edit out the remote, which i didn't even notice!)

Pretty cool to capture the bee in flight.

This deserved a much better score. It's not easy to get a big score in any "Advanced Editing" challenge, even with a tack sharp shot. Thumbs up to you for entering a shot that is different from the "DPC norm" for this sort of challenge. I like it.

A shot that gets better with the pondering of it.

Welcome to the scary world of zp challenge submission! I'm heartened by how many people guessed that it was lensless instead of assuming you didn't know how to focus your lens "properly". "Breed familiarity" should be our motto!

I really like the atmospherics in this shot.

Thanks for the follow up. I kind of wish you had picked a more obviously "old" subject. I figured it was a pinhole or zone plate shot and have been itching to reward such an entry. Challenge theme aside, I love the effect.

Pinhole? Nice processing but I'm not convinced these are 100 year old oaks.
