bee interaction

No, don't worry about it. Tina, can you post the original pic before processing? That would make it easier. Again, sorry if it's nothing.

awesome colour Tina!

great work on those shots agin Tina.

LOL, here come all the folks from Brisbane

dario, i am not offended, it is just the brisbane folk know my integrity, and know i would never try to pass something off that wasn't true. There are folk out there that would, so suspicion is natural. However i assure you, it is very real, and you will have to wait for me to get my originals posted, as i am on my laptop, and my son is in the middle of an online game on the computer, where my images are stored. However, will post the originals tomorrow. It was just a set fluke shots. I was interested in the flower first off, then because of the bee, and the native bee did geniunely flounder in the middle, and the sequence of events did happen. Actually, you should be able to get my exif of these photos. Another reason the brissie folk know it's real is that my photoshop skills are rather limited, and i have absolutely no idea how to take a bee from somewhere and put it somewhere else. My skills go as far as levels, usm, contrast, shadow/highlight(not used in this case nick, it was even lighting), blur tool, dodge/burn, clone, healing stamp, and that is about it.
here's another piccie i had sitting in photobucket.

here you are dario, the 3 prior.
the reason some of my images appear different in colour etc is that i shoot in manual, and often change my settings between shots.

original thread here http://www.digitalslr.​com.au/forum/viewtopic​.php?p=39073 and as others have said tina isnt the type of person to try and pass a shot of as a shot if it wasnt.

Fantasic pictures!!! As others have said, it looks surreal.
