ANOTHER TAKE ON 2 BEE

[Julian de'Courcy]

Used Raw Therapee the other day as one does from time to time in the hope that magic will happen using some other raw converter. As a freebee it is fantastic, fitting onto windows nicely now. This was posted earlier but quite liked the rendition from Therapee. Trouble is I have tried to replicate this look with other pics and it has not , or I have not arrive at the same results. I quite like the softness yet clarity in this version and this practice I have learnt again how much a tweak here and a tweak there can change the same image from one thing to something very different. Of course from this site I have had it drilled that cropping is important also naming no names. many thanks though as it has brought it more to the conscious when trying to create something passable, as a photographic image.

That does have quite a different look doesn't it? I like the depth of colour and textures on the petals in particular. The patch of pink top right is a tiny bit distraction though.

Yes I agree hands up , did not notice at all, far to much involved with the bees themselves and missed the pink splodge.

I still love those bees!

I still love those bees!

I've fallen in love with Bees. Being so close for some time over the last week or so, being inches from them and quite a few at a time, watching them busying themselves, popping in and out and onto flowers, buzzing pass me, taking no heed as if I am of no consequence. In fact they are nicer than most of the people walking past, who constantly complain about a photographer taking up the path even when there is another path to use. I don't hear the grumbles from the bees that I hear from behind. So yes as a rule I prefer bees. there are exceptions as always
