    Bee in Flower

    Hello Everyone

    Here is a cropped image of a flower shot I took during the weekend. What do you think?

    that would be a great pic but there is alot of noise. The color is great very smooth. Did you crop it too much. show the original size

    I love the colors and the mood, I wish the bee were sharper, I think you cropped it too tight on the left.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    I can change the crop since this is a very tight crop of a much larger image. Unfortunately even after sharpening with Photoshop the bee is not that sharp.

    Like the others, I'd like to see a bit more of the surroundings, perhaps with the majority of flower and bee in the upper or lower quadrant on the left side. I find it confined. Not sure if I'm explaining that too well. I would like to see the original picture before cropping.

    I really like how you can see the "grits" of pollen on the bee.
    Cheers,
    Greg
