 I was trying to get this with a tripod but the Bee kept moving around so I laid down in the grass and shot this pictures, I took about 25 shots until I could get some good ones. but this one shot was taken just as he was landing so his wings are still in motion.

Nice dof. It could almost be abstract if you went with the top half.

Really cool shot, but I don't see anything abstract.

thats a really cute shot - and I haven't seen a grape hyacinth in a very very long time!

A tighter crop would really help this out, I almost missed the bee completely. However I really do like the light you captured here, looks like a nice warm, sunny day.

Very nice picture

While the motion (the movement of the wings I presume) is present, it isn't an inherent part of the over-all photograph. Coupled with an almost complete lack of any abstract element, it simply doesn't work well enough for the challenge theme.

Nice shot of a bee on a flower but not abstract IMO

It's a very nice photo, and I like it a lot. But it doesn't seem abstract at all to me, and there's very little motion. I hate marking it down, because I do like it, but it doesn't seem to fit the challenge.

abstract?

It's small but I'll give it to you, there is some abstract motion there.

motion is a bit minimal and not to abstract
 03/25/2009 07:06:37 PM
The motion is in the wings of the bee, but it's not at all abstract.

would have been better if soomed in a bit more, but other than that nice shot
