Hi Liliana,
Foxgloves are a favorite. I love the specks inside. This is vivid and sharp. I bet the bee is having a wonderful time. Terrific work. I like it very much. Best regards, Danilo

Hello Liliana,
you have captured the picture that I have been trying for this summer, but with little success. Well done. I have foxgloves in my garden but have not managed this.You have caught the bee so well, as it sits on the lip of the flower. Lovely and sharp and I like ou composition.

Hello Lili,
I love the speckled tongue of the Foxglove and it is so well captured here. No wonder the bee is gathering nectar.
The positioning of the flower on the far left is really dramatic. Lovely natural colours.

Nice singleminded, tightly-focused capture here Liliana. I love the detail of the flowers, the colours, and the soft background bokeh.

I'm not a fan of the title-in-the-frame, but that's a personal thing.

Hallo Lili!
E superba floarea si ai prins-o excelent cu albina. Foarte bun focos, culori si lumina, textura, de asemenea foarte frumos prezentata. Si celelalte versiuni mi-au placut.
O zi frumoasa,
Sorina

P.S. La noi incepe sa se incalzeasca din nou, dupa ce am avut un weekend ploios si rece, tare capricioasa vara asta, o saptamana calda, una rece, tot asa a fost din iunie.

Hi Liliana
Foxglove is a perfect name for this flower - with the soft pinks and white. The bee found the scene inviting as well. I aplaude your choice of a simple frame. VERY nicely composed using the left third. Cheers

Hello Liliana,
Very fine details on this macro compo with a nice bokeh and natural colours. It is a real symbol for summer. Good title and frame chosen. I like it.
I like the dark green BG and POV more than the two workshops. It looks more pure and simple, more natural. Thats the way I prefer to shot - natural light and natural colours.

Hello Liliana
All three perspectives are good and it must have been difficult to choose only one. Being there at the right moment is the key to success and this time, your were there. Fun to see the bumblebee entering the flower. Lovely pink color and sharp detail of the Digitalis.Very artistic composition with the main subject off centered.
Bravo Lili

This one, in my POV, is definitely the best of all three. The BG is very soft and provides a very nice contrast to the lovely pink flowers. Marvellous sharpness and detail.

dear Liliana,
the flower of digitalis is allways really strange for my eyes...but I can understand one element of it by this your shot. the figure of it really looks fiting the visit of the bee. the flower makes best matching style with the bee indeed.
in this your shot, you succeed to capture wonderful colors this summer by your Canon machine, I like this tone so much. and also you succeed to express the clearity of the summer air, I can feel the touching of the breeze of it through this your picture.
thank you,
Akihisa
