Good morning Peeps

This is the second shot I took on Saturday afternoon of the bee doing its duty and collecting the pollen. I wonder when I look at the wings if at some time an architect could have seen such a view and taken the idea for stained glass windows in churches and the such like .... yes I know my mind does wander at times.. It's a blonde thing.

There are a few dried water marks on the petals here and I did consider cloning them out but this time decided against it as I wanted the shot natural as taken.

Framed in good old trusted photofiltre.

Have a great day peeps

TTFN regards Smurfie

Only at times? Wandering is very healthy to feed your creativity, it's not a blond thing, it a sensible thing to do ^-^.

Lovely work Helen, absolutely NV (learned that from Silke) you for this result.
Bright, detailes and very attractive.

Hi Helen,
This is oozing with beautiful and vibrant colors. Awesome work. There is good clarity on the dorsal view of the busy bee, and the slight blur on the fright flower is appropriate. Well framed. Greetings! Danilo

Well done

Wow, Helen - I thought yesterday's bee shot was impressive, but this one is really aces! You're right, it's the wings that really grab the eye here. The colors are electric. I like your decision to leave the dried water drops; they don't detract at all and it feels really authentic. Nice work!
