Thanks for the challenge Tom.
I cropped the original, applied a levels adjustment. Added a Grainy Vignette from Spoongraphics and inverted it. Then added one of Jodi’s frames.

However, a bee that size, jeez! Could it bee the star of the next Disney classic, or just another hanger-on?

Couldn't resist adding a giant friend - courtesy of the US Geological Survey - Bee Inventory and Monitoring Lab. It's a bee from Argentina previously unclassified and currently has the official name "bee cute furry face" - www.usgs.gov/media/images/bee-cute-furry-face-m-argentina-side . Lots more "free bees" at www.flickr.com/photos/usgsbiml
