I like the colors. I would love to see more.... "Whatever you can do to avoid Photoshop is worth it"

But don't put your own work down... very few people start off with the perfect results. Just try to improve with every shot you take. Alan

I like the color saturation, the depth, and sharpness in this picture. I also took a very similar shot and thought you might enjoy seeing my picture for a comparison.

I still havent managed to get one non blurry bee shot! Various gear
