 Ok, so there's only one bee, but it sounded better plural. Took a few shots of my marigolds before they freeze & die. There were several bees on them, all moving pretty slow since it's been colder.
I used suemack's old book texture (overlay mode) & goodman's glass texture (hard light mode) both at different opacities.

BRILLIANT BRANDI !!!!!! .. you've nailed it with this one .. fantastic colours and i love your bee .. !! ... your bee is very different from the bees around here, much darker and aggro looking .. ours look like they wouldnt hurt a fly, yours looks like he's in terminator !!!! ..
just before i posted wot i just wrote i scrolled down and noticed the very last comment had said that you'd nailed it .. how weird, coz i dont think i'v said that before .. :)

Oh Brandi, what a lovely image! I don't know, but in my experience a marigold is a relatively small flower so to see a bee so large in relation to the flower is frightening with a capital F! He's pretty though :-) Wonderful choice of overlays
