This is the dramatic image, I took it yesterday morning.



This is half of a study in treatment



This is the other half. The only thing I really had to do differently in the two versions (once I'd done the filtering to B&W, was to dodge the large flat rock in the upper right. In color it's fine, but in B&W it was too hot.



This it the tricky one (as opposed to the dramatic shot at the top). Getting the bee was easy. She just flew about, and I snapped the shutter. She was in focus, and I had the picture.

The salamander had to be seen, and then I had to work around to get rid of the reflections (even if I'd had the polarising filter with me, there wasn't enough light to make up for the 2-stop loss polarising filters cause). I wish the flash hadn't been in Maia's bag, half a mile up the trail from me.
