Cheating Ballerina

If you don't do your homework, there is always a student that will.

When you look up elegant, this photo is shown. (Clone out the bug. This is so clean, so ethereal ... to my eye the bug is distracting. Most photos of flowers are enhanced by bees, butterflies, et al ... this image doesn't need any help.)

You know I have to agree with Gary, think the bug should go. It's to perfect an image to have a distraction

 

[jcdeboever]

OK but the bug was the student that was cheating with the ballerina... you guys...

 

[Gary A.]

Viola!

Wouldn't call it cheating - more like "interloper"

Cloning out the bug is a mistake. The bug is 50% of the whole hook!

In other's words, take care of your mates needs, if you don't someone else possibly will.

Great photo.

Thanks

I agree with Derrel - I liked the bug. And everything else, of course, but I think the bug takes it from a "pretty flower" picture to a "moment in time" picture.

Thank you, that means a lot coming from you! I kept the original.

Bug = A moment in time
Sans Bug = A Timeless Moment

Bug = A moment in time

And that is part of the beauty of this photo and of photography in general

YES! The ability to capture and freeze a fraction of a second in time is magical and powerful.
