I have a pic in there, but I think I have taken better one since.

There now.

But I think one of these may be better.

Any opinions out there?

These are all pretty good. I would go with the eithe of the first two shots. How did you get the bee to look so still when the shot was taken with a relatively long exposure?

Thanks for your reply.
I don't know why the bee looks so still. I think 1/400 is a pretty quick exposure.
The bee was sitting on that flower, I prefocused on it, then when it took off,
it did kind of a loop and went back into my DOF area. I guess 1/400 is fast
enough to stop a bumble bee.

I definitely like #2 the best. I think I'm more attracted to it because there is nothing distracting in the picture... the focus is on the flower alone. Very nice!

Now I feel like shooting some flower pictures. :)

Thanks Kelly.

I'm leaning toward that one also.

This is the Seinfeld Challenge.


Can you see George, in his parents backyard, trying to cool down on a hot day.
Or would it be Kramer?

Yes, those are my feet. While on vacation when I went for a boat ride, I didn't
think about taking off my shoes and socks. Doh!
