Busy Busy Bee

When I uploaded this image I talked about it a bit under Description......but I don't see anything here......still confused....but I will persevere. I have this image in colour but wanted to convert to black and white. I did try a texture on it that I liked how it added a deep blue hue. I might work on this one again and do a different crop. Your thoughts are always appreciated, thanks :) Gail (just saw what I wrote under the Description in tinsy wee wee letters above the Title. I have a 27" Moniter, I don't know how someone with a smaller monitor would ever read what I wrote, but maybe on a smaller screen it is easier ?

Nice shot and interesting to see a bee photo in B&W, it is a rare spectacle! Cheers! PDE

No! It's practically impossible to read the text on my 15", high-res screen. very interesting image. very different for you. brooding..... come visit on 500px. best, j

P.S.: if you click within the image, you get a black border and the text is quite a bit bigger.

Wonderful b/w image Gail, with beautiful details. I hope that you are doing well. Take care,..............Patsy

Hi Gail, Nice to see a new image from you, and as PD stated rare to see an image of a bee in b&w, I agree and think it works. Good details as well. Yeah this site has me scratching my head a bit also but I'm hanging in hoping it will streamline itself. We should be able to see if an image we commented on was followed up by the poster without to much difficulty and a few other things like that. Whatever..............Best Always, Holger

thanks so much Pierre.......happy to hear from you and know that you liked this one........the colour one is still better I think but wanted to try the conversion.

thanks Holger, so nice to hear from you............we'll get through this........after all, it isn't BRAIN SURGERY........or is it ??? :)

Excellent b&w!!! Great job as always, Gail!!

Hugs!!

Hello Alberto......I was just looking at your image my dear friend !!!!! yes HUGS !!!

THIS IS HOW TO SEND A MESSAGE!! it seems to me that you click forums, and then play about until you see, "[your name]," "Inbox," and "Alerts" near the top. Click "Inbox" and perhaps it will work. Yay! I sent you one. jamie

Hi Gail, what a great idea to do this in B/W, it's really brought out the textures and patterns and especially makes you focus on the bee. Lovely image! Best wishes. Sarah.

thanks so much for your visit and encouraging remarks Sarah !! really appreciate you taking the time :) Gail

Hi, Gail. Still I am learning to use the new webb, I suppose that for the young people is easier, as many of them have grown with technology. Now I'm looking at the image with a laptop and I can see below the title these words: "'I have this image in colour as well. I converted it to black and white but really liked a texture I tried with it. Always trying to find ways to enjoy this Hobby in the Winter'"

I like the original black and white conversion and diagonal composition. the texture is interesting too.

Kind Regards, and I hope you continue to find entertainment in photography.

I had commented on this photo but I don't see it anywhere!

This is a different version of this image Kathy - that is probably why - the other one has more colour - thanks so much for your kind words.

Thank you so much Rosario for those kind words. Glad you enjoyed this version.
