yellow Cactus

| I was trying to get a shot of a cactus yellow flower during the last flower fair in April and obtained this shot which turned out to be unexpected with a high shutter speed and ISO. |

it has some interesting qualities, i like the pov, composition and the low light effect, though I would have lightened the bee to match the fore flower, which is a pity its so blurred, i would clone out the blurred object in the left corner to balance the image. good experiment though.
Very lovely warm colors Reham. I really love how this turned out to look like a painting, with that very dark background and the soft lighting. Considering you used a high ISO I barely sense any noise, which is great. The balance between the flowers at the bottom right and the ones at the top left is wonderful, although I would recommend just burning lightly the edges of the photo only where those bottom right flowers are. Because they are both out-of-focus and brighter than the other flowers they tend to distract. Great POV from the top looking down though and I love the metering and exposure here to give an intimate shot. Great capture with that bee, it adds life and dynamism to the shot. Very nice black frame with that yellow line to tie in with the warm yellows in the shot. As snaphappy said, the shot could be sharper, but it's beautiful. TFS!
