 My guess is there will be a lot of honey on spoons, or in jars, or being poured. But I wanted to go for something different. Every Saturday in Madison is the world's 8th best farmer's market. One of the booths is where I always buy my honey, and they always have this bee display. So I grabbed my camera and headed down to the market early (before there were too many people and while parking was free). I took a number of shots of this booth, and this one stood out as my favorite.

Neat idea for a picture. However, the focus seems off to me. I would have rather had the focus on either the bees or the honey, not the wood frame in the middle.

A bit different in a good way.

I'm not sure I'm liking the processing done here, feels a bit like a bad HDR. The left side of the image is extremely interesting, much more so than the OOF honey jar. I can also see this working well in black and white.
