nice bumble bee....!

[mfacer]

took this before when I was finishing a film! turns out it was the best pic on the roll!!

ps the scanner is rubbish so its not great quality.... :cry:

I like the angle and stuff but I think the colors could be helped. It looks like the picture is a little dull. I think with some PS ajustments that it could really stand out.

 

[mfacer]

actually, I used PSP (Paint Shop Pro) and increase the saturation and lightness of the picture!! I think my scanner is a little rubbishy, as it never really picks out the colours very well....

 

[canonrebel]

I'll bet the print is awesome, huh?

 

[mfacer]

the print is much sharper.... I think I may need to invest in a new scanner... still using the same one which I got over 6 years ago free with the PC!

I would have preferred a shot closer to the bee while still capturing the vastness of the flowers.

Nice composition in this one. You might try bumping the contrast a bit. That might get you some color vibrancy back.

no idea! the pictures are hosted on my own website.... and that seems to be working ok!? Try the link in my signature and see if you can see those images? Otherwise, I dont know whats up!!

thanks for all the comments by the way... going to try and get some more flowery pics today - the sun is out and we got some new plants etc!

 

[mfacer]

I also changed the contrast levels as photobug suggested suggested and increased the saturation slightly... I think the result is much better!?

I like the color in #2 more, also would like to see a sharp focus, but still a good shot

Keep shooting

Seeing your avatar.... you a City fan?

 

[canonrebel]

Sometime a softer focus may be the more favored way to go.
And it may not always be evident until a side-by-side comparison can be made.....

In this instance, my vote would go with the original

 

[Jeff Canes]

Yeah, original look better

 

[Dandy-Warhol]

There are many ways to alter a picture and make it better, simply just sharpening it doesn't work. You have to use other filters and adjustments too.
