Default Busy Bee's

I was out doing some yard work this morning and noticed that there were a lot of bee's at the milk weed so I had to stop and go in to get the camera and take a few shots, work them over a bit in PS and well, here are the results. Let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Sarie

Thank you both! However Misty, after reading your post I had to scroll back up and look at the pic again, and sure enough that bee looks blue, when in reality the blue was white. I guess it was just the lighting or something I done in PS without realizing I done it....LOL I must say you have a good eye!

Thanks again!

either way it does look cool. People have complained to me because I notice some of the smallest things in shots. Yet I still struggle to get the right shot.
