Before and After: Bees of Black & White

I find I am enjoying using ON1 Photo Raw for creating black and white images. The textures, borders, lens blur, etc. allows me to be creative in the process. Here is an example from a shot I took at the Brown Family Environmental Center near Gambier, Ohio.

Editing
I started with a Tone Enhancer filter to add some contrast to the photo followed by a Black & White filter. To add more more detail contrast, I added aDynamic Contrast filter and added some film grain with the Film Grain filter. Then I added a film texture I found somewhere online. A Split Tone filter was used to add a very small amount of color to the photo. Another Tone Enhancer was applied but only to the background to darken it up so the bees and flower in the foreground stand out more. A Lens Blur then was added to blur the background. Photo was finished off with simple white border.

Before and After: Bee kissing the Flower

At times that I visit The Brown Family Environmental Center, I try to capture bees and butterflies with my Canon 5D Mark III and using my Canon EF 70-300mm 1.4-5.6 IS zoom lens. I am not good at it but sometimes I am lucky to get a good shot like this one.

Editing
Starting with a LUTs filter in ON1 Photo Raw 2019, I used the Thoreau LUT followed by a Color Enhancer filter to make the colors vibrant and warm. Next I applied a Sharpening filter to apply a little sharpening and a Tone Enhancer to bring in the highlights and darken the shadows a little. A texture that I downloaded from ON1 called 2LO Color Burn1-hardlight, part of a Color Burn Overlays collection, was added to the photo. A vignette came next and finish off with a Emulsion border.
