Spring Blooms by kannafoot

Spring Blooms

The azaleas my mom planted in 1971 are in full bloom, thanks to a week of real spring-like weather. I was hoping to photograph some pollination action, but there wasn't a bee in sight. The lilacs are starting to bloom, though, and those typically draw them so hopefully in a week or so I'll be able to show some insect life on the flowers.

Post processing started with a warm tone I filter in Topaz Adjust. I then adjusted adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2013/i-W4Crrf4/0/XL/2013%2005%2007_0003%20copy-XL.jpg
I only find good bugs when I'm going yard work sans camera.
