Very cute Isabel. I like the black background and the comp. Good job of merging 2! #155889

Isabel L August 08, 2004

:) Thanks Wendy.

Does it look like they are 2 different photographs.. I couldnt really get it how I wanted because the bee photograph was on a colorful background so I was hard to change it and get it with a dark background. #693985

Wendy M. Amdahl level-deluxe August 08, 2004

No it doesn't! I wouldn't have known if you hadn't put it in your comments. I just thought you had great timing to catch that bee up there! :o) By the way I really like your "Ladybug Road" picture after you sharpened her up...Excellent! #693989

Isabel L August 08, 2004

:) lol thank you wendy! and im glad you like the lady bug one too. im going to have to re-enter the sharpened photograph one of these days. #693990

Wendy M. Amdahl level-deluxe August 08, 2004

Yeah, I was wondering how that works. I'm new here, so I'm still somewhat confused on how this whole contest thing works. But definately re-enter it! #693992

Isabel L August 08, 2004

Did you read all the rules and stuff about the contest? It is sort of confusing. :) I hope you like bp.

:) And thanks Hermin! #693996

Isabel L August 08, 2004

Ooh sorry. BP = better photo. thats what I call it so I dont have to type the whole thing. #694000

Isabel L August 08, 2004

British Petroleum?? lol ok. well now you know that it can stand for British Petroleum or Better Photo. #694003

Isabel L August 08, 2004

:( yah. I just saw that.. I should have fixed this photo up but im tired. #694006

Christine Perez August 08, 2004

Hi Isabel. Like the flower, but the bee....SCARY! I'm allergic. LOL #694008

Christine Perez August 08, 2004

What catagory should I put this pic. in? #694011

S J August 08, 2004

Hi Isabel! Excellent photograph! Love the background and the angle! #694020

Dan Holm August 08, 2004

Wow, Isabel! This is fantastic! EXCELLENT macro, excellent caprture! #694021

Karen Engelbreth August 08, 2004

Wonderful image, Isabel! #694053

…, there thats what I don't like about this terrific macro photograph, Isabel. However, I do like the composition, the colors, and the bg DoF. I don't know much about PSP, but does it allow you to use layers. If so, that would make you life a whole lot easier when it comes to combining photos. If you'd like to see what I mean, check out my entry today at "http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/discussionDetail.php?threadID=155909". Wonderful job on this entry of yours, btw - Allan #694079

Kristen McKain August 08, 2004

This is great Isabel. When I saw it I was like.. whoa! I missed that bee when she showed me this?! lol and then I read your thing. Great job putting them together! #694104

Susana Matos August 08, 2004

Beautiful!!!
Cheers from Portugal, Su #694225

Donald K. Cherry August 08, 2004

Nice shot and layering, Isabel! #694246

Allan L. Whitehead August 08, 2004

Not to be controversial (who me, not me, eh…) Isabel but why not just ask people what they like and have them offer for improvements. Asking what they don't like is so negative, eh… Anywaty, that's my 'other' 2$ worth - Allan, 'A', … #694250

Isabel L August 08, 2004

Wow thanks so much everyone!!!

Christine this is probably to late but I would enter it in people.

:) Thank you Allan, I don’t think I have ever combined to 2 photographs together so this was my first time probably. Imp going to try to see if I can fix this shot up a little more. And thank you ill go check out your shot. Oh yah.. I was thinking about asking people what they like or don’t like and then asking for any ways that I could improve the shot. Ill do that tomorrow.

lol Kristen. :P I hope you have a nice day today and I hope you find your cat.

:) Have nice weekend everyone.

Great image, Isabel!!!!! #694758

Isabel L August 08, 2004

:) Thanks Donna #694771

Stephen Zacker August 08, 2004

Very creative and well done. Super composition! How did you do it? #694884

Isabel L August 08, 2004

Thanks!

Umm.. I had this picture of a bee with some other flowers but it didnt look that good. And I had this flower shot but it was like missing something. So I cut out the bee from the other photograph and then I pasted it to this one and I had to change the colors of the wings on the bee. So then after all of that..i got this? #694887

Amanda Price August 09, 2004

This is really awesome, Isabel! #695209

Isabel L August 09, 2004

:) Thanks amanda. :( I have nothing to enter today.. I think. oh well. #695210

Dale Gast August 10, 2004

Isabel... the flower is very pretty & could probably stand alone. I don't think the bee looks like it belongs to this photo. I love the DOF. And, so many photos have their subjects dead-centered, I love how you composed this shot. Hope that helps. #699111

Isabel L August 10, 2004

Thank you for being honest and telling me what you think Dale! I dont think that the bee looks that great there either.. :) thank you. #699113
