This was actually taken a few weeks ago but this is the perfect place to post it! My Orange Cosmos (yet again) with two very different insects about to touch antennae. I thought it was pretty cool, even if the technicals aren't perfect.
PP - converted from RAW, cropped, dodged bee's wings and colored yellower, dodged ant, decreased brightness, increased contrast, toned down a bright spot on lower right by cloning at 50%, hue shifted yellow-greens to green and desaturated slightly, added border, resized, sharpened.
A fun capture. Slightly more DOF and sharp focus on the insects would have been nice, but sometimes ya gotta take the shot they give you. Thanks for posting this one.
That bee looks HUGE in scale with the ant! really gives a sence of what he looks like from the ants perspective.
The shimmer in the bees wings is spectacular golds.
