Bumblebee #4 and Clematis. Nice pics but too close for comfort. I felt a sting.

I like bumblebee #1 & 3--with preference to #1.
ReplyDeleteClematis is great. The other flower #3 by far for the interest of the picture as a whole.

I like bumblebee #3 because there is more bee detail, the color of the lavender is true and the background is softer.
ReplyDeleteI like flower #1, however I think it cuts the picture in half. I also like #2 with the soft, yet contrasting background.
