In a Line

I used Lightroom to make this pic less dark and to make the bees pop.

Amazing image!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

They're both well done but I think the reduced highlights on the container in this one makes it easier for the eye to concentrate on the bees and fully appreciate their structure and textures.
A fab macro image!

Great job with the processing

[Kathy]

Yup! more pop!

[Rob Z]

They are more defined but I think I like the first one better- it seemed more natural. I just had a closer look - did the top bee have a mite upon it - just near its wing?

[Corinne]

Tellement de détails .. le corps duveteux et le joli reflet irisé des ailes !

[Corinne C]

@robz An excellent observation! I see it now but I cannot tell what it is.

[Rob Z]

@corinnec I only noticed it because we are having an outbreak of a dreadful parasitic bee mite over here. It decimates the whole hive and is actually causing huge concern in the bee industry.

[Corinne C]

@robz Oh no, bees didn't need another deadly challenge!

[Rob Z]

It's called a Varroa Mite if you want to find out a bit about it.. :)

[Corinne C]

@robz Thanks so much. Yes I definitely want to know more.

[CC Folk]

Fabulous capture! Great detail. Fav.
Sad about the mites that attack the honey bees.

[CC Folk]

Congratulations on the top twenty for the week! :)
