Over Processed Bee

Maybe a little over processed...

This one was overprocessed anyway and then I boosted the shadows and lowered the highlights and gave it a tighter crop to bring out more detail... I cant help thiking I have gone too far.

I have uploaded several variations on the OverProcessed Bee to this Flickr set. Variations include using some burn to dim the bright reflections reflections on the bees face.

Take a look if you like and compare them... It would be nice to know whick people prefer and why... it would help me decide when I am past enhancing detail and destroying the quality of the image.

Also backblip for yesterday

[update] after coming back later and taking another look and also reading peoples comments (thansk guys!) I Have decided to switch over to to Overprocessed bee #1 Still quite processed but still in touch wth reality.
