Re: The Bee and The Butterfly
Two nice subjects, but in my opinion both images are far too busy to work well. The top image would be stronger if the flowers in the background were not showing and the viewer could concentrate on the bee on the flower. The second image has similar issues but the situation is complicated by the light reflecting off the leaves, which adds even more distraction. I generally always use a polarizer when shooting flowers outdoors to cut the glare. I also prefer shooting them in overcast conditions, where the light is softer and more attractive.
