When doing background composites like this, it helps to have the practical elements in focus to make it easier to cut out the background. But in panel 2, Bee-Girl was much closer to the camera than the building and the helicopter, meaning I couldn't get all elements as sharp as I wanted. I ended up taking the picture twice, once with the focus on the foreground, and once with the focus in the background. I originally did this to give me more choices in editing, but I ended up taking Bee-Girl from one shot and sticking her on top of Blurry Bee-Girl from the other shot. Since the lighting was the same in both cases, it looks mostly natural.
