Could Bee

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.
