Busy Bee
I was walking in my garden near sunset, when I spotted this bumble bee searching for nectar on a brilliantly lit milk weed plant.
The contrast between the dark insect and the vibrant orange flowers caught my eye.
Post processing notes:
I increased contrast globally and added some sharpening and noise reduction. In effects colour enhancer, I increased yellow saturation. Dynamic contrast, and a big softy vignette were added. I used the perfect eraser to remove some distracting areas. Jim WalshExif information:
