[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I was taking a shot of the bloom and did not see the bee, unfortunately he was not sharp, so I defocused the rest.

Maybe no one will like it! but I do, and I suppose that's what counts.

It just reminded me of hazy summer days.

Good morning Gil
The composition here is very fine indeed. I think the overall lack of sharpness goes against you here -- I'd have been tempted to apply art filters to it to make it something else again.
But in the end, it is your own feeling about the shot that counts -- if it makes youfeel good, then it is a good shot!

Hello Gil
Indeed its the owner of the picture who should be satisfied with the result at the first place.
Sure no one would upload a picture which you dont like by itself.
Nevertheless, the opinion of others count when it comes to critics. Men should be open for that aswell.
For me, lets call it 'behind the obvious'.
Greetings from Jan

Hello Gil,this is an interesting shot;sat by the monitor it doesn't show up too well, and yet in the thumbnail or seen from a distance it looks perfectly fine.
I think that if you are pleased with it then that is all that matters.
The composition and colours are good.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Gil,

Your composition is providing a charming vision where silhouette of the flying insect is looking interesting. Good luminosity and clarity of vision are remarkable. Well done my friend.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Hi Gil,
It's not easy to capture this type of photo, and you are to be commended. The hovering bee is a plus, your composition is attractive. The defocusing effect lend itself to a romantic mood. Best regards, Danilo
