Another day, Another challenge.. :)
I saw this poor bee in my balcony, can't fly, struggling to move.
So I took a black piece of paper and put the bee on it, then put a 80W table lamp, pointed on it (it was almost night time), took some macro shots and chose this photo for the challenge.
Post-Processing: NeatImage, Cropping, Saturation of Yellows to -95 (to remove the table lamp effect and add more contrast for the bee), played with brightness & contrast a little, Unsharp Mask.
Then I wasn't totally satisfied with results so I did a little more desaturation of yllows.
then I gave this to heida to have a look and she adjusted it so it'll look better, THANKS heida :-)
Sorry for submitting bees, site is already full of those as I have noticed.
Also, I freed the bee afterwards, hope it'll live another day. |

| Well it's centered. A lot of unused space. |

| There isn't really enough in this image to get me excited... Maybe closer-up so the bee filled more of the frame. I think the background works nicely; It's interesting, but not overpowering. |

it's not sleeping, is it? :)
that's what you call dead centre! Even the surrounding is working with you, cause it is curling around the bee..The DOF is just a little too small...I would have liked to see the bee more in focus, and maybe a bit (teeny) more light on it..but the sharpness is great! |

| Though color is good, the dark shadow makes it hard to make out detail in your too small subject. |

| Very nice, I think the light could have been just a tad better so that we could get more detail of the bee. |
