Bee and The Spiderwort

Gallery: Photo ArtPosted November 1, 201044 views5 comments
I've been looking for ways to save some images that I liked but weren't exactly focused properly or had other issues. I've watched this gallery for awhile and have been very impressed with what is being done, and thought maybe I could save some of my shots. This is my first ever "Photo Art" post, I usually post in Avian.
This photo was in the "nice" category for me as the focus on the spiderwort wasn't good on the front petal, I forgot to stop down. :rolleyes:
Anyhow, this was manipulated in PSE8 with the fractalius plug in. I liked the cartoon look of the bee. :smile:

All comments and critique are welcomed and appreciated.

Doug, This is a very nice looking composition and the Fractalius added a bit of whimsy to it. Nice job.
