[RogerCook]

It's been a while since I posted I bought a new laptop and have been busy getting it set up in between taking photos so I have a bunch saved up.

Hi Roger . I really like the composition in this shot We usually see images with bees on the flowers but this one has just targeted the flower . I would crop the second OOF bee to make the composition stronger. I think it doesn't add very much to the composition and it is a bit distracting .

Thanks Binnur I''l give that a try I think your are correct.

Nice BIF.

I agree with Binnur. I would also down from the top a bit and in from the left. Those areas are only distracting, and they decrease the magnification of the stuff that matters.

I tried a re-crop

It works much better Roger . I don't know if your software allows you but if you can reduce the brightness of the background selectively , it might look even better

Exactly what I was thinking.

I love the energy in this one Roger, the bee in flight and the flower captured so well.

For me the second crop is not so good and the two bees should be retained, it's like aircraft coming in to land ! If you undertake any crop perhaps a bit off the bottom and the left will work.

Great shot. The bee looks suspended in the air. The crop is nicer but both are amazing shots.
