How's My Bee Picture?

[Jen Puleo]

I took this in my garden the other day. He sat still for a long time. I like how he moved his little legs so I could really get a shot of his face.

What lens did you use? Could you get closer? His positioning is good, but he's sort of lost in the shrubbery.

Crop him closer?

yes... crop....crop hard....

I was afraid to crop too much. I'll have to get in & edit again.

Hellou,

I agree also on the cropping. Maybe some color adjustment, make the bee's color stand out.

Looks good overall

More cropping-it gets too grainy if I crop more. I used a Nikon D40 to take the photo, f/10 aperture, 55mm, ISO 800. I *heart* Flickr!

well, its a wasp
And for the grain you can get a demo version of NeatImage or other noise reduction program. I use NeatImage and it works like a charm

If i'm not mistaken, i believe thats a wasp. And i agree, learn to use the crop tool like it's your job, just not too much
