Bees and Lavender

The bees stand out beautifully here & the way you assembled the 3 shots works very well. Borders are tricky.

Rose Composition

Comment by tnun:
First, this is a splendid assemblage: whether it is just the way you've got the patterns of each rose and/or the canvas effect, I can truly "see" each different petal pattern, but the seeing is highly intensified by their juxtapositioning. And yes, it is so good it is worth attending to the nitpikkers. This certainly does something for me. Would love to see what you come up with by way of variations if you are so inclined.

You have made this Spirea truly attractive, both umbels and leaves - a difficult colour combo to get just so. I do like the way Mr. Bee appears to be sitting showing off his shine black legs.
