I like the idea, but I wonder about the balance between the amount of light and shade. It feels to me like too much of the frame is dark. I looked at it full size in the Lightbox. The screen was filled by what amounts to a much tighter crop. And I liked it. The part that is in light comprised a much larger proportion of the image.

Yes agree with Donald. The Lightbox view is much more appealing.

I'm glad it was viewed in Lightbox. Did anyone notice the bee? I was going to call it "Bee in Flight"

That was my intention and I looked at it in Lightbox myself to see if it worked for me. I tried a few PP moves but decided to leave as is. This is essentially SOOC with no sharpening. Shot at 1/1000 f8 ISO 400. I have to admit I was just goofing around with exposure in Manual mode and this was the surprise.,

Thank you Izzie, a lot easier than those fast flitting Chickadees!
