About the Image(s)
I had been trying to capture the buzzing bee with my OM1 Mark2 with the 12-100mm f4 lens at 100mm. Shutter was set at 1/4000sec, aperture 4 and iso 640. You may consider both the color and BW image. My intention is to show the image in black and white.
I would like ideas on how to decide what image would show better.

Both images are well done. My personal taste usually leans toward color, but I found this one a touch soft. I added a small touch of vibrance. Hope you like the result. Posted: 10/04/2025 17:19:37

Richard, this is a tough one. Both images are excellent. They are cropped perfect and the position of the bee couldn't be any better. You did a good job freezing the action and having sharpness where needed. Toss-up??? Posted: 10/05/2025 13:30:07
I did raise the luminance of the blacks a bit as they were slightly crushed. It is a toss up! Posted: 10/07/2025 11:52:01
