wow, and all the more powerful because in b&w - stunning placement of focus and choice of depth of field - where did you take this?

Great composition and bokeh.

The unbearable lightness of being.

A most excellent use of shallow DOF and wonderful bokeh. Really meets the challenge well!

Lovely, just lovely. I know the Bee becomes an integral part of the image but it's getting in the way of my view of that bokeh!

Blair Witch. Fabulous foreboding. Is there a tiny bit of magenta in there (I'm a touch colour-blind)? If there is, it's so weird because if I unfocus the eyes, something becoming nearly inevitable as the years pass, then I register a magenta hue quite strongly, but then as soon as I focus on any particular spot, I see no magenta there. This is an absorbing picture for that and several other reasons. Thank you.

Love the tones, depth of field, and composition here. I feel as if the bee is just entering the scene and will be drawn upward to that one, sharply in-focus blossom. I really like the diagonal progression from soft to just slightly oof to sharp.
