taken today on the firetrail .. he was just taking off, which is why his wings are blurred ..
i've been wanting to get more of the insect in focus but still have a shallow depth of field in the surroundings .. this is my first attempt at blurring the background but retaining more depth of field on the bee ..
So outstanding, Roz!! The precision with which you caught the bee and the movement of the wings is just breathtaking. But it's not "just" a good photo - it's so pretty, too! The composition and processing, the colors - all arty and beautiful.
This is gorgeous and fascinating... it's not just the bee's wings (which is way cool) but all the pink that really makes this. Excellent composition as well, and very very cool that you're sharing your workflow.
Looks great. The most interesting part of this to me is that blurry wing. It's just the perfect amount of blur and the sense of motion is great. Only weird thing is the other wing looks so static. I realize you don't control the bee... or do you.
