Superb shot Roz! Congrats on your well deserved win!

Will I eat the duck, or fetch the ball? That is the question.

timothy .. thankyou for your comment ..
i'm not sure if you have mentioned that .. but i do forget stuff .. !! ..
and i totally understand about having a dog who doesnt like having her photo taken .. my katee who passed away in June 2019 was like your dog .. she would walk away and look away too .. i had to be a bit stealthy and take lots and lots of photos to catch her in an unguarded moment ..

times have changed and toddy has joined the family ..
and he's the total opposite .. i think he actually enjoys having his photo taken .. sometimes he actually gets a treat for sitting or begging or doing the meerkat when i take his photo ..
anyway .. thanks again ..
i felt this would go really well in the challenge ..
but when i look at it now with the eyes of the voters i see it with different eyes ..
altho i preferred the eyes i had before .. ;)

Well! Would you look at that! No vote under a 5!

Congratulations! The low voters loved this one!

SO DO I!!

It's amazing! And to be Standard Editing?! You're amazing, Roz! But... I'm pretty sure I've said that a bunch. :D

Yeah... when I have an image that's doing well, it always falls in the last few hours. If I have an image that's stinking... it goes up in the last few hours.

I'm very interested in this phenomenon, actually.

Anyway... CONGRATULATIONS!

This should be the cover of a magazine. I love the way the color of the bee blends in with the background and yet is so sharp it stands out. The softness of the flower also accentuates your subject. Just a perfect balance. My favorite of the challenge and one of your best! Congratulations.
