@maggiemae Thank you Maggie! The full color version background was really distracting so this was a simple but effective solution.

Great shot, Ann. Nice job on the processing. You caught the bees pretty well!!

Hey - question - what is the best online site to use to get rid of grainy or noisy photos? I have several from my Boston trip that I need to clean up and I have no clue where to start. I looked into that Lightroom that everyone's been talking about but my computer doesn't meet the system requirements. I took photos on the wrong settings and most of them came out crappy and that makes me bummed and I can't figure out how to fix them so there will be no videos or any sort of sharing if I can't make them better quality.

@prttblues Thanks Bev! I can tell which ones I use. I imagine they all can remove the noise to some extent- Ribbet, iPiccy and BeFunky. I use Ribbet the most. They are all free. Since you are an ace member you can also try uploading the picture to 365 first and then select edit in Picmonkey under photo details and work on it in that program. I don't know if any of them will have the capability to completely repair the shot but it's worth trying. The program I purchased for my computer is Smart Photo Editor. It was in the $30 range- very affordable!! And that one does have the capability (and literally thousands of options) to clean up noise and such in a couple different ways. I don't know if that helps. But at least you have a couple places to check out.

Thank you everyone! The background was really drawing attention away from the flowers and bees so I was experimenting with a couple different ideas and this one worked the best. Glad it produced such a positive amount of feedback!
