 Taken in the back yard, early morning on my cana lilies. When I saw the photos back on my computer I was struck by how much the leaves looked like blades of grass and how tiny the bee looked.

I did some cropping and contrast/brightness adjustments. Resizing/sharpen.

Hi Cybele -

Great work on only your second entry at DPC. As stated below the colors and lines are great. It met the challenge very well.

There is nothing that I can see to technically improve the shot. I personally would have liked a closer shot of the bee, but then you wouldn't get the effect of "proportion" for the challenge, so you did right. The only other thing would be a crisper shot. I see a bit of noise and the photo is a bit soft overall.

Overall, I think it is a great photo that you should be proud of. I look forward to seeing your future work.

Regards,
Chris

Great capture! Love the light in the bee's eye! Color seems a little pale but it doesn't really detratct that much. Graininess at the extremes doesn't feel right though.

Nice compositon with the dynamic lines leading up to the subject. Nice saturated colors, too.
