This is SOOC. Have at.   IMG_5953 by JuliaPauline08, on Flickr“Forget safety.

Maybe a few flowers and the bee. The green peeking through the flowers will break up the shot. Something like this maybe.

More info | Aug 02, 2012 09:49 | #4 Start over again. If you want the bee, you want a close crop with a macro lens. If you want the flowers, get them all in, lower the aperture or change your camera position so that they'll all be in focus. Make it a vertical crop. Joe

Difficult with 2 kids under 18 months, but slowly saving up the cash. Hadn't used my lame 18-55 in a while before then but I'm working on getting used to it again “Forget safety.

I have one bee shot that I really like. I'm on my phone (I've become a POTN addict lol) but when I get home on Sunday I will post it! “Forget safety.

DreDaze happy with myself for not saying anything stupid  More info | Aug 02, 2012 15:26 | #12 i'd crop it like this...it may be a little much, depending on what you plan to do with the photo...i think it looks better when the subject is looking towards the open space of the photo as opposed to towards the closer edge of the photo  Image hosted by forum (608552) © DreDaze [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW.
