Yes, a far cry from my usual realistic HDR. But, I like to submit a pic for FilterFriday on G+ each week. So, I thought I’d post my latest here as well. I loaded this shot into Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 and added a mild violet filter. Then, I used the brush tool in Adobe Photoshop to isolate my bee. Add a little Curve for some contrast and surreal realism . . . could bee!
Equipment used: Nikon D100 with Nikkor 105mm(DX-157) f/2.8 lens at f/8.

Well done Mark. Excellent macro and use of selective color.
Thanks, Edith. Always enjoy macro.
Lovely macro Mark! I just posted a bee on FB yesterday too! Beautiful Silver Efex Pro work!
Thanks, Adam. I’m enjoying SEP. I’ll be doing a HTDS video with it on Wednesday. I’ll check out your bee.
