Those wee curly bits on the edge of the centre are very cute. I am imagining a bee's eye view as it approaches to harvest pollen.

Looks good to me.

After further review, I wonder if you changed some of the shooting controls in your camera if you could avoid what seems to be a somewhat consistent "over-saturation" of color.

I am watching your development closely so when I have my setup ready, I can learn from your mistakes - hey, what are friends for.

Do you have your shooting mode in "Neutral" and not "Vivid?"

Inquiring minds want to know.

I'll check on the settings when I get home as I'm one of the working stiffs on this forum.The over saturation could be from my pp as I like to shoot outdoors and when I stack my images it seems to blow out certain areas of my images,such as the petals on the photo above.And I have bumped up the saturation a tad in raw and elements( maybe a case of overkill).
