Bees on mint flowers

[chaimav]

Taken with my Hexanon 57mm f1.4 and Fuji X-T20. This was a tough one for me as the background was just so busy and green, there was not much subject separation. Here is my take with RawTherapee.

Beautiful photo, and I love the busy, green background. It is a garden, after all.

I see you took the opposite approach as I did to subject separation. Instead of brightening the background, you brightened the subject

@chaimav

I updated my edit slightly to try to have a bit more natural colors.
