...trying to make sense

Once in awhile, I will  "photo-shop" a photograph, when I think a positive force will come of it.  For example, the top photo for some reason or another just doesn't do much for me as a digital pic, but turning it into a "paint-like" picture seems to bring out the beauty of the flower.  Now the pic with the bumble bee is different.  The flowers came out crystal clear in the original photograph, but alas, the bee lacked a lot of focus.  So what to do?  Again, I photo shopped it with the "painting like" effect and added some clarity to the picture.  Now even if the bee isn't in preferred focus, it really doesn't matter, because a certain amount of "blurriness" is acceptable and expected.  The real point of all of this, is you might take some photos and they may appear to be "duds" and ready to delete, but if you just have the real basic photo shop skills, and mine are minimal to say the least,  you can turn that dud into something worth viewing.  Hope this makes sense.  See ya....jimmy
