Bees take only seconds to gather pollen here. I just missed the mark in this compression, I have a wonderful 2048 X 1536 version available. Catching bees pollinating is a great challenge. Catching her facing right, wings flapping, darting from plant to plant is always a photographers challenge. I have a goal now to capture wing detail, with minimum blur from flapping.
Composition is always fun when trying to tell more than one story with only one photo.
But one story should have more importance. Here the house, although obviously present, gives in to the beauty of the flowers. Playing with gamma in my Paintshop Pro toolbox, I came up with this cranberry tone to the image. I like it this way, free of the colors and embossing the work end of collection. Here he is, Patches.
