Helpful Posts: The magical flowers bloomed brilliantly in early Summer and died off. They have now come back for an even more impressive showing. Also honey bees.

Re: Return of the Snapdragons
Hi, Neville!
Very nice!
I never considered the lowly snapdragon as magical, but you have made them so. Good job.
I like the composition in #1. The negative space gives a place to write something - a sentiment perhaps?
The focus of the bee is spot on in #2. In #3, I was wishing to see the snapdragon front more a bit in #3. #4 appears a bit bright, but than these are all just my humble.
All in all, a great job. Thank you for posting.
Marie

Hi Neville
I especially like the first two images. Very nice colors and I like the composition of #2 very much.

Thank you Jim, Marie, John and Binnur. I decided to follow Brian's example and explore the world of my garden.

Re: Return of the Snapdragons
Yesterday it was the same, but now it is OK I can see the bee in #2 better...good series and I like all of them but the last one. I still haven't changed my mind about these shots...

I agree. Even darkening it didn't help. It's beyond help (like the photographer!). Originally Posted by IzzieK
