Bee / Wild Sage (Canada)

University of British Columbia (Vancouver) Rose Garden.

This is a heavier edit than I normally do. My second attempt at this photo. More use of multiple instances and masks.

Midday shot. I was trying to get the tone of the bee and flower the same. After I did that, I didn’t have to darken the background too much.

What’s the focal point? The bee and the pollen? How successful was I?

Beautiful image. I feel like the flower is the star, so I did not crop.

A quick edit. I used the color equalizer module to try and lift the bee’s color a little.
