Jimson Weed Revisited

A remake of a previous submitted version with an overall better

feeling of the early morning light. I further darkened and blurred the

background and lightened and sharpened the bug to make him more

noticeable. I also increased the saturation ever so slightly as to add

to more vibrancy. I believe this to be a better overall rendition than

my previous effort. Your comments are always welcome.

Leo, the lighting is superb in this rendition.  Well done!

This is an excellent datura image, and I love the bug. There is some bleed from the blur layer on the upper right part of the flower.

Thank you Dominick and Neil!

THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IMAGE I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS SOMETHING I WOULD FRAME AND DISPLAY IN MY HOME. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IMAGE - THE SOFTNESS, THE LOVELY COLORS, THE PERFECT COMPOSITION AND OF COURSE THAT LITTLE INSECT IS A DELIGHTFUL TREAT FOR MY EYES.

 

WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Thanks Deb, you always make me feel good

Thanks for the kind words, as for the bleed, when using a mask and a heavy Gaussian Blur under it, it is quite common to experience it. In this case I didn't find it a deterrent or objectionable, do you find it to be? Great eagle eye, Les!
