“Is that you God?”
A Honey Bee sitting on a Clivia, staring into the sunlight. May 2026. Pretoria, South Africa.
Post processing notes:
I rotated and cropped a bit. Dropped the exposure, lifted mids and shadows. Added a Surreal Dynamic Contrast effect to the bee. Added a Darker Glow effect to the background. Brought some colour back to the flower petals with a local Saturation lift. And finally added a Subtle Vignette.Exif information:
