How the heck did you manage to catch the little guys in focus?? I can't even get the big guys to hold still!

Very, very cool processing. I like the almost spotlight effect.

Very moody.

I found some of those pods on the sidewalk a few months ago and shot them for a challenge (which didn't do well at all). When I was researching it then, I was finding people calling it a Liquid Amber tree.

Excuse me, mister Bee sir, you have a little something on your face!

Nice composition, which is tough to do with busy bees.

Something about this makes me want to curl up inside the flower and take a nap. A very soothing abstract.

Okay... creepy! I really like the grey gradient background against the deep red. This one could actually pull off the centered composition if you ditched the green leaves in the background.

Very, very cool.

Hm... I think I like it. I think I like it a lot. Your processing really brings out some very interesting textures and shadows.

That just kills me, lol.

I hate photographing reds, yellows... and whites in direct sun! They tend to get hot and start glowing. It makes it nearly impossible to focus. I think that's what's happening here with this photo. I think you probably were focused pretty well, but that evil glow makes it look like you're not.

I hope you get some clouds soon!

Great natural light. I love the little *ting* star on the handle of the pot. That baby blue goes great with the yellows.

Love the colors and bokeh.
